Fragmentation of spin-dipole strength in ${}^{90}$Zr and ${}^{208}$Pb

Abstract

An extension of time-dependent covariant density functional theory that includes particle-vibration coupling is applied to the charge-exchange channel. Spin-dipole excitation spectra are calculated an compared to available data for ${}^{90}$Zr and ${}^{208}$Pb. A significant fragmentation is found for all three angular-momentum components of the spin-dipole strength as a result of particle-vibration coupling, as well as a shift of a portion of the strength to higher energy. A high-energy tail is formed in the strength distribution that linearly decreases with energy. Using a model-independent sum rule,the corresponding neutron skin thickness is estimated and shown to be consistent with values obtained at the mean-field level.
