Abstract

Photoabsorption cross sections in calcium isotopes are investigated theoretically with the most advanced nuclear-structure calculations using the nuclear shell model. We show that the photoabsorption cross sections in 48Ca dominated by a giant dipole resonance (GDR) are well reproduced with the shell model and predict that a pygmy dipole resonance (PDR) appears in 52Ca in the low-energy tail of GDR. Excellent agreement with the experiment is achieved due to highly correlated many-body wave functions obtained by treating a huge matrix with the dimension of ∼1010.
