An accumulation of low-lying electric dipole excitations, the electric Pygmy Dipole Resonance (PDR), was observed below and around the neutron threshold in neutron-rich atomic nuclei [1]. In a systematic study, complementary to real-photon scattering experiments, the isoscalar probe of α particles at 136 MeV was used in α-γ coincidence experiments at the Big-Bite Spectrometer at KVI to study the isospin character of low-lying E1 excitations. The combined results permit a separation of the isovector from the isoscalar dipole response. Whereas a splitting into a lower-energy isospin-mixed part and a higher-energy isovector part was observed in heavier nuclei, a state-to-state change in isospin character was found in 48Ca. Recently, protons at 80 MeV were used as an additional probe in a p-γ coincidence experiment. The most recent results and an overview of the systematics will be presented.
