Anharmonic properties of the double giant dipole resonance

A systematic microscopic study of the anharmonic properties of the double giant dipole resonance (DGDR) has been carried out, for the first time, for nuclei with mass number A spanning the whole mass table. It is concluded that the corrections of the energy centroid of the Jpi = 0(+) and 2(+) components of the DGDR from its harmonic limit are negative, have a value of the order of a few hundred keV, and follow an A-1 dependence.

Effective nucleon mass in deformed nuclei

The coupling of vibrations to nucleons moving in levels lying close to the Fermi energy of deformed rotating nuclei is found to lead to a number of effects: (i) shifts of the single-particle levels of the order of 0.5 MeV towards the Fermi energy and thus to an increase of the level density, (ii) single-particle state depopulation of the order of 30%, and thus spectroscopic factors approximately 0.7, etc. These effects, which we have calculated for 168Yb, can be expressed in terms of an effective mass, the so-called omega mass ( m(omega)), which is approximately 40% larger than the bare nucleon mass in the ground state. It is found that m(omega) displays a strong dependence with rotational frequency, eventually approaching the bare mass for Planck's over 2piomega(rot) approximately 0.5-0.6 MeV.
