For several years, the so-called Pygmy Dipole Resonance (PDR) has been a research topic of great interest [1,2]. It occurs as a concentration of electric dipole strength around and below the neutron separation energy. Systematic studies are essential to improve the knowledge of this excitation mode. For this purpose, the Nd isotopic chain is well-suited due to its wide range of stable, even-even isotopes. Therefore, two complementary (γ,γ’) experiments on the rare-earth nucleus 144Nd have been performed at the γELBE facility at the Helmholtz-Zentrum Dresden-Rossendorf [3] using a continuous bremsstrahlung beam and with quasi-monoenergetic γ rays at HIγS [4]. The results of these experiments will be presented in this contribution.
