Nd. Dang et al., Statistical analysis of the hot giant dipole resonance with the phonon damping model - art. no. 027302, PHYS REV C, 6102(2), 2000, pp. 7302
The strength functions of the hot giant dipole resonance (GDR) in Sn-120 ob
tained within the phonon damping model (PDM) have been included in the comp
lete statistical calculations and compared with their experimental divided
spectra as a function of temperature T. The entire experimental shape of th
e hot GDR can be reproduced reasonably well using the PDM strength function
s. The effect of superfluid pairing at T<1 MeV is important to obtain a bet
ter agreement between theory and data.
