Coupling of the giant dipole resonance to gamma vibrations

Journal Article · · Phys. Rev. C; (United States)
Existing photonuclear data for /sup 166/Er are analyzed in the framework of both the dynamic collective model and the interacting boson approximation. In particular, the cross section for the inelastic scattering of photons populating the ..gamma..-vibrational band is reanalyzed in order to infer information about the coupling of the giant dipole resonance to ..gamma.. vibrations in deformed nuclei. These data are found to be in agreement with the predictions of both models and therefore do not discriminate between them.
