Dipole states in stable and unstable nuclei

Abstract

A nuclear structure model based on linear response theory (i.e., Random Phase Approximation) and which includes pairing correlations and anharmonicities (coupling with collective vibrations), has been implemented in such a way that it can be applied on the same footing to magic as well as open-shell nuclei. As applications, we have chosen to study the dipole excitations both in well-known, stable isotopes like ${}^{208}$Pb and ${}^{120}$Sn as well as in the neutron-rich, unstable ${}^{132}$Sn nucleus, by addressing in the latter case the question about the nature of the low-lying strength. Our results suggest that the model is reliable and predicts in all cases low-lying strength of non collective nature.
