GAMMA-RAY STRENGTH FUNCTIONS
The segment brings information on experimental data and parameterizations of giant resonances (mainly E1, but also E2 and M1) and their global systematics.
Recommended giant resonance parameters (not only those for giant dipole resonances) are summarized in kopecky.readme, and a tabular form of GDR parameters for specific nuclei is given in recommended file beijing_gdr.dat. Other file varlamov.dat brings additional and fairly comprehensive compilation of GDR parameters.
Information on strength functions is also in kopecky.readme. The extensive systematics of global strength function data is in recommended file kopecky.dat.
The directory is comprised of the subdirectories RECOMMENDED and OTHER_FILES:
