Photon decay of giant resonances

Conference ·
OSTI ID:6538404
Measurements have been made of the photon decay of the giant multipole resonances in /sup 208/Pb. The giant resonances were excited by inelastic scattering of 380 MeV /sup 17/O projectile and the photons were detected in the ORNL Spin Spectrometer. The results show a quadrupole resonance ground state gamma branch of 20% while only less than or equal to 2% of the GQR decay proceeds through the 2.6 MeV, 3/sup -/ state. Nearly one half of the GQR decay through a 3/sup -/ state at 4.974 MeV. Photon decay from the dipole and monopole resonances and high spin resonances (4+,6+) are also observed.
