Abstract
The photoresponse of the semimagic N=82 nucleus (136)Xe was measured up
to the neutron separation energy S(n) using the (gamma,gamma') reaction.
A concentration of strong dipole excitations is observed well below S(n)
showing a fragmented resonancelike structure. Microscopic calculations
in the quasiparticle phonon model including complex configurations of up
to three phonons agree well with the experimental data in the total
integrated strength, in the shape and the fragmentation of the
resonance, which allows us to draw conclusions on the damping mechanism
of the pygmy dipole resonance.
