The results of the use of photon strength function (PSF) of the model of two coupled damped oscillators (Two State Excitations, TSE) for the description of nuclear data for photoabsorption of electric dipole gamma-rays by atomic nuclei are presented. The response function widths dependent on gamma-ray energy were used instead of constant widths in the initial TSE model. It was demonstrated that such a phenomenological approach is a simple method for the description and prediction of the PSF with excitation of both low-energy (pigmy) dipole resonance (PDR) and high-energy giant dipole resonance (GDR). The best description of the experimental photoabsorption cross-sections is obtained at constant width in the PDR range and linear or quadratic energy-dependent width in the GDR range.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
