The authors review the theory and the empirical evidence of damping of simple nuclear
excitations. The excitations considered are the particle states and vibrational states. The …

A review is given of the present situation of electric giant resonances in nuclei. Starting with
the properties of the well-known electric dipole resonances the authors summarise the …

The damping widths of single-particle states and of giant resonances are estimated in
spherical nuclei, based on the excitation of surface modes. A Skyrme III interaction with an …

A review is given of the present status of the theory of damping of nuclear vibrations. The
main focus is on the microscopic description of the damping phenomena.'One-body …

The low-lying spectra of heavy nuclei are investigated within the quasiparticle–phonon
model. This microscopic approach goes beyond the quasiparticle random-phase …

The authors review the decay modes of nuclear compound states formed after heavy-ion
fusion reactions. Temperature-dependent mean-field theory is used as a basis for a …

A simple semimicroscopic model providing the possibility of taking into account the influence
of deformation, configuration, and isospin effects on the structure of giant dipole resonance …

The inelastic α-scattering reaction at Eα= 120 MeV with an energy resolution of 90–150 keV
has been used to investigate isoscalar strength distributions in 24, 26Mg, 28Si and 40Ca …

An equation of motion method for solving the nuclear eigenvalue problem in a basis of
microscopic multiphonon states is reformulated consistently in terms of Tamm-Dancoff …

We present results of the time blocking approximation (TBA) for giant resonances in light-,
medium-, and heavy-mass nuclei. The TBA is an extension of the widely used random …
