Abstract

From the data on dipole excitations obtained in photon scattering experiments we extract and tabulate the mean values of the excitation energy of the 1(+) scisssors mode in nuclei of the mass region 130<A<200. The centers of gravity of the observed M1 strength distributions are always close to 3 MeV including several moderately deformed transitional nuclei. In particular, the data exhibit a weak dependence of the scissors made energy on the deformation parameter. Including roughly the deformation dependence of pairing effects we could modify an earlier estimate based on a schematic random phase approximation and get a simple formula which yields qualitative agreement with the data.
