Abstract

Two-step gamma cascades (TSCs) following the radiative capture of thermal neutrons in 77 Se were measured at the research reactor at Řež near Prague. Results on photon strength functions (PSFs) of 78 Se, obtained from comparison of experimental TSC spectra with outcomes of simulations under different assumptions about level density and PSFs using the DICEBOX algorithm, are presented. The main attention is paid to possible manifestation of the pygmy resonance observed recently in this nucleus in the nuclear resonance fluorescence measurement and low-energy PSF enhancement observed in Oslo-type experiments for all A ≲ 100 nuclei.
