Photon strength functions describing the average response of the nucleus to an
electromagnetic probe are key input information in the theoretical modelling of nuclear …

Background: There is renewed interest in electric dipole strength distributions for a variety of
reasons including the extraction of the dipole polarizability related to properties of the …

We analyze primary γ-ray spectra of the odd-odd Np 238 nucleus extracted from Np 237 (d,
p γ) Np 238 coincidence data measured at the Oslo Cyclotron Laboratory. The primary γ …

Nuclear level densities (NLDs) and γ-ray strength functions (GSFs) of Sn 120, 124 have
been extracted with the Oslo method from proton-γ coincidences in the (p, p′ γ) reaction …

Most theoretical approaches used in nuclear astrophysics to model the nucleosynthesis of
heavy elements incorporate the so-called statistical model in order to describe the excitation …

The validity of the Brink-Axel hypothesis, which is especially important for numerous
astrophysical calculations, is addressed for Sn 116, 120, 124 below the neutron separation …

During the last decade, a theoretical method based on the energy–density functional theory
and quasiparticle–phonon model, including up to three-phonon configurations was …

We present an extensive experimental study of the recently predicted pygmy quadrupole
resonance (PQR) in Sn isotopes, where complementary probes were used. In this study,(α …

The neutron-capture and Maxwellian-averaged cross sections of 181 Ta (n, γ) reaction have
been computed making use of the TALYS code. Two main inputs of the TALYS calculation …

Background: Detailed information on the low-lying dipole response in atomic nuclei along
isotonic or isotopic chains is well suited to systematically investigate the structure and …
