Abstract

The elastic model, which successfully explains the isoscalar giant resonances, is now applied to study the isovector giant resonances. In solving the Lam\'e equation, we employ the boundary condition that the displacement shall vanish at the surface. The results are compared with those obtained under the contrasting boundary condition that the stresses shall be absent at the surface. It was found that the results are dependent on the type of boundary conditions. Future experimental data will allow the assessment of the correct choice of boundary conditions.NUCLEAR STRUCTURE Nuclear giant resonances, isovector vibrational nodes. Electric and magnetic multipoles.
