Gamma decay of the ${}^{154}$Sm Isovector Giant Dipole Resonance: Smekal-Raman Scattering as a Novel Probe of Nuclear Ground-State Deformation

J. Kleemann, N. Pietralla, U. Friman-Gayer +19

Gamma decays of the isovector giant dipole resonance (GDR) of the deformed nucleus ${}^{154}$Sm from $2_1^{+}$-Smekal-Raman and elastic scattering were measured using linearly polarize…
