Recent experimental progress and development at RCNP Osaka, Japan [1], allows measurements with intermediate-energy proton beams at very forward angles combined with high energy resolution of the order Δ E/E ≈ 8 · 10−5.
Using this setup, the total electric and magnetic dipole strength distributions can be extracted. In comparison with a simultaneous measurement on the well-deformed nucleus 154Sm, an experimental study of 144Sm allows to investigate the influence of the deformation on these strength distributions. Differential cross sections under 0∘ – 4∘ were determined. By comparison to theoretical predictions of Coulomb excitation using the eikonal approximation [2], the E1 character of the cross sections in the region of the GDR can be confirmed. A qualitative comparison to E1 strength obtained in 144Sm(γ,γ′) experiments at the S-DALINAC [3] is discussed.
