Abstract
The dipole strength of the $N=28$ closed-shell nuclide $^{54}\mathrm{Fe}$ was studied in photon-scattering experiments using bremsstrahlung produced with electron beams of kinetic energies of 7.5 and 13.9 MeV at the $\ensuremath{\gamma}\mathrm{ELBE}$ facility as well as using quasimonoenergetic and linearly polarized photon beams of 26 different energies within the range from 5.5 to 11.4 MeV at the $\mathrm{HI}\ensuremath{\gamma}\mathrm{S}$ facility. About 100 $J=1$ states were newly identified, out of them 19 with ${1}^{+}$ and 30 with ${1}^{\ensuremath{-}}$ assignments. The quasicontinuum of unresolved transitions was included in the analysis of the spectra and the intensities of branching transitions were estimated on the basis of simulations of statistical $\ensuremath{\gamma}$-ray cascades. As a result, the photoabsorption cross section up to the neutron-separation energy was determined and compared with predictions of the statistical reaction model. The experimental $M1$ strengths from resolved ${1}^{+}$ states are compared with results of large-scale shell-model calculations.
