D. Galetti et al., SEMICLASSICAL ESTIMATE OF THE COULOMB-EXCITATION OF THE GIANT-DIPOLE RESONANCE IN PB-208, Physical review. C. Nuclear physics, 48(6), 1993, pp. 3131-3134
A semiclassical approach to study pure Coulomb excitation of Pb-208 gi
ant dipole isovector resonance is examined. We consider medium energy
projectiles and assume the target excitation to be described by a simp
le Goldhaber-Teller model. It is shown that the main features concerni
ng the angular distribution are obtained in the angular range describe
d by the model and an estimate is made of the pure Coulomb dipole cont
ribution to the measured cross sections.
