Low-lying E1 strength in heavy nuclei is frequently addressed as a Pygmy Dipole Resonance and associated to a semi-collective neutron-skin oscillation. It can be expected to be sensitive to the nucleus’ symmetry axes, separating into two parts for axially deformed nuclei (K-splitting). Data are sparse for such nuclei. In nuclear resonance fluorescence experiments conducted at the γ³ setup at the High Intensity γ-ray Source (HIγS), the dipole strength above 4 MeV of the deformed nucleus ¹⁶⁴Dy was studied using a polarized, quasi-monochromatic γ-ray beam, such that E1 and M1 strengths can be discussed. Resulting average quantities are compared to statistical model calculations.
