Skyrme-Hartree-Fock Description of the Dipole Strength in Neutron-Rich Tin Isotopes

Abstract

Low-energy E1 strength in neutron-rich ${}^{132-164}$Sn isotopes is analyzed in the framework of the Skyrme random phase approximation (RPA) with different Skyrme forces. A double folding procedure is applied to take into account the energy-dependent width effects beyond RPA. All the considered Skyrme forces indicate a soft prolate deformation in the open shell isotopes ${}^{142-164}$Sn. The integrated E1 strength in the energy region of the pygmy resonance grows with the neutron number. The influence of deformation on the integrated strength near the particle emission thresholds (which is of a keen astrophysical interest) is strictly suppressed by the mutual compensation effect for the branches of the giant dipole resonance. The results obtained are in a good agreement with the previous findings of the relativistic mean field model.
