ON THE WIDTH OF GIANT-DIPOLE RESONANCE IN HOT NUCLEI

An approach describing the width of the giant dipole resonance in hot nuclei is proposed, unifying the microscopic thermal damping of multiq uasiparticle states over the compound nucleus state and the quantal da mping. The numerical calculations in the schematic model with equally degenerate equidistant shells for a hot nucleus of mass A = 110 carryi ng no angular momentum are performed which provide a good agreement wi th the behavior of the recent experimental data.
