For heavy nulei, low-lying E1 strength referred to as Pygmy Dipole Resonance is often related to a semi-collective oscillation of a neutron skin. A sensitivity to the nucleus’ symmetry axes can be expected, resulting in a separation into two parts (K-splitting) for axially deformed nuclei. Data is sparse for such nuclei. In nuclear resonance fluorescence experiments performed at the High Intensity γ-ray Source (HIγS), the dipole strength of the deformed 164Dy was probed using a polarized, quasi-monochromatic γ-ray beam.
Above 4 MeV, a dominance of E1 strength is observed. Due to high level densities, only mean properties such as the average decay behavior are accessible above 5 MeV. The results are compared to experiments using complementary probes and statistical model simulations.
