Examination of the low-energy enhancement of the -ray strength function of
A model-independent technique was used to determine the γ-ray strength function (γSF) of 56Fe down to γ-ray energies less than 1 MeV for the first time with GRETINA using the (p,p') reaction at 16 MeV. No difference was observed in the energy dependence of the γSF built on 2 + and 4 + final states, supporting the Brink hypothesis. In addition, angular distribution and polarization measurements were performed. The angular distributions are consistent with dipole radiation. In conclusion, the polarization results show a small bias towards magnetic character in the region of the enhancement.
