E1moments from a coherent set of measured photoneutron cross sections

Theoretical uncertainties count: parity violating asymmetry and dipole polarizability in 208Pb

“…[14,12]. Experimentally, α D can be deduced from the total photo-absorption cross section [11,15] while theoretically, it can be computed from static response or from dynamical response via the dipole strength distribution [16,17,18,14,19,12,20,21]. Within this framework, the α D J product has been shown to be linearly correlated with the neutron skin thickness in neutron rich heavy nuclei [14,12].…”
