Decay of Nuclear Giant Resonances: Quantum Self-similar Fragmentation

Abstract

Scaling analysis of nuclear giant resonance transition probabilities with increasing level of complexity in the background states is performed. It is found that the background characteristics, typical for chaotic systems lead to nontrivial multifractal scaling properties.
