In many neutron-rich nuclei a concentration of electric dipole strength is located energetically below the giant dipole resonance. This so-called pygmy dipole resonance (PDR) is explained within various nuclear structure models by an oscillation of a neutron skin against a proton-neutron core. In order to study the structure of the PDR in medium mass nuclei, complementary scattering experiments with real photons and with α particles at around 34 MeV/nucleon on 48Ca have been performed recently [1]. The comparison of the results of these measurements revealed an unexpected behavior. Since almost all dipole states known from the nuclear resonance fluorescence experiment could be observed in the α scattering experiment as well, the strongest PDR state at 7.3 MeV could not be excited in the latter case. To confirm the assumption of Jπ=1 states, the parities of all known dipole states have been determined at the High-Intensity γ-Ray Source facility at the Duke University using 100% linearly polarized photons.
