Dipole and quadrupole excitations in the semimagic N=50 nuclei ⁸⁹Y and ⁹⁰Zr were investigated at the superconducting electron linear accelerator ELBE with bremsstrahlung produced at electron energies from 9 to 13 MeV. About 200 γ transitions in ⁸⁹Y and 180 in ⁹⁰Zr were identified up to about 11 and 12 MeV, respectively.

Statistical methods were applied to estimate the contributions of inelastic transitions and to correct the intensities of the ground-state transitions for their branching ratios. The photoabsorption cross sections obtained in this way provide information about the dipole-strength function on the tail of the giant dipole resonance (GDR) towards energies below the neutron-separation energy. We observed extra dipole strength with respect to a smooth extrapolation of the GDR in the energy range from about 6 – 11 MeV.

The observed extra strength is compared with results of calculations within the Quasiparticle-Phonon Model, which also make predictions about the nature of the strength.
