Fragmentation of the low-energy octupole resonance in /sup 48/Ca, /sup 90/Zr, and /sup 208/Pb

Journal Article · · Phys. Rev. C; (United States)
The fine structure of the low-energy octupole resonance was studied for /sup 48/Ca, /sup 90/Zr, and /sup 208/Pb by proton inelastic scattering at E/sub p/ = 65 MeV. The low-energy octupole resonance was composed of many discrete levels of L = 3 states. The total energy-weighted sum rule fraction of more than 10% was found in every nucleus. Especially in /sup 208/Pb, the energy-weighted sum rule fraction amounted to 15%. The strength was finely fragmented in /sup 90/Zr, but less fragmented in /sup 208/Pb. It is suggested that the ''degree of fragmentation'' is correlated with the excitation energy and the distribution of the low-lying quadrupole phonon states.
