Abstract
We report on the first (p, p'gamma) experiments at E-p = 80 MeV to
investigate the Pygmy Dipole Resonance (PDR) in the semi-magic nucleus
Ce-140. This experiment is the latest in a series of experiments to
investigate the PDR with different complementary probes to provide a
multi-messenger data set on the properties of the PDR in Ce-140. In
addition, calculations within the Quasi-particle Phonon Model (QPM) have
been performed. Cross sections have been calculated for proton- as well
as alpha-scattering reactions based on the transition densities obtained
from the QPM, not only at the RPA level, but including the full model
space of up to 3p-3h configurations. This allows for the first time to
compare the calculations to the experimental results on an absolute
scale for single excitations. Agreement between QPM and experiment is
observed, which proves the high accuracy of the calculated transition
densities for individual PDR states. (C) 2018 The Author(s). Published
