Zusammenfassung
Background: In the A approximate to 50 mass region M1 spin-flip
transitions are prominent around 9 MeV. An accumulation of 1(-) states
between 5 and 8 MeV generating additional E1 strength, also denoted as
pygmy dipole resonance, has been established in many nuclei with neutron
excess within the last decade.
Purpose: The gamma-decay behavior of J = 1 states has been investigated
in an NRF experiment. M1 excitations have been compared to shell model
calculations.
Methods: J = 1 states were excited by quasi-monoenergetic, linearly
polarized gamma-ray beams generated by laser-Compton backscattering at
the HI gamma S facility, Durham, NC, USA. Depopulating gamma rays were
detected with the multidetector array gamma(3).
Results: For eleven beam-energy settings the gamma-decay behavior of
dipole states was analyzed by a state-to-state analysis and average
gamma-decay branching ratios have been investigated. 34 parity quantum
numbers were assigned to J = 1 states.
Conclusions: Six 1(-) states and two 1(+) states have been investigated
in NRF experiments for the first time. The M1 strength distribution is
in good agreement with shell-model calculations.
