Continuum dipole response near the threshold and the direct neutron capture cross section at astrophysical energies
We apply the continuum quasiparticle random phase approximation to calculate the direct neutron capture cross section relevant to the r-process nucleo-synthesis. The electric dipole strength function…
Nuclear dipole response in the finite-temperature relativistic time-blocking approximation
The radiative neutron capture reaction rates of the r-process nucleosynthesis are immensely affected by the microscopic structure of the low-energy spectra of compound nuclei. The relativistic…

Evidence for pygmy and giant dipole resonances in 130Sn and 132Sn.
TLDR
The dipole strength distribution above the one-neutron separation energy was measured in the unstable 130Sn and the double-magic 132Sn isotopes, and a resonancelike structure ("pygmy resonance") is observed at a lower excitation energy around 10 MeV exhausting a few percent of the isovector E1 energy-weighted sum rule.
