Giant Dipole Resonance in hot nuclei. Experimental aspects

摘要

Some of the most recent experimental results on the GDR in hot nuclei are presented. All data on the (gamma)-decay of the GDR show a saturation of the apparent width and a saturation of the yield. However, it is not clear until now, if these effects are related to a GDR width which either saturates or increases continuously with the excitation energy. Very new data associated to selected exit channels could help to clarify the situation. (author). 14 refs., 7 figs. (Atomindex citation 28:015556)
