Abstract
The γ decay from the high-lying states of 124Sn was measured using the inelastic scattering of 17O at 340 MeV. The emitted γ rays were detected with high resolution with the AGATA demonstrator array and the scattered ions were detected in two segmented ΔE–E silicon telescopes. The angular distribution was measured both for the γ rays and the scattered 17O ions. An accumulation of E1 strength below the particle threshold was found and compared with previous data obtained with (γ,γ′) and (α,α′γ) reactions. The present results of elastic scattering, and excitation of E2 and E1 states were analysed using the DWBA approach. From this comprehensive description the isoscalar component of the 1− excited states was extracted. The obtained values are based on the comparison of the data with DWBA calculations including a form factor deduced using a microscopic transition density.
Highlights
The γ decay from the high-lying states of 124Sn was measured using the inelastic scattering of 17O at 340 MeV
In particular in the case of neutron-rich nuclei, a few percent of this strength is found in the so-called Pygmy Dipole Resonance (PDR), a concentration of 1− states located around the particle threshold [1]
Two independent electric dipole resonances are naturally found, one originating from the oscillation of all protons against all neutrons (GDR) and the other described as an excess of neutrons which oscillate against a N = Z core (PDR)
Summary
The γ decay from the high-lying states of 124Sn was measured using the inelastic scattering of 17O at 340 MeV. The obtained values are based on the comparison of the data with DWBA calculations including a form factor deduced using a microscopic transition density.
