Newest results on pygmy resonances in atomic nuclei — •Andreas Zilges — Institut für Kernphysik, Universität zu Köln

The Pygmy Dipole Resonance (PDR), a concentration of electric dipole strength in atomic nuclei at rather low excitation energies, has recently been the subject of numerous experimental and theoretical studies. Complementary experiments with electromagnetic and hadronic probes and state-of-the-art theoretical approaches have led to a differentiated view of this elementary excitation mode in nuclei. The present status will be reviewed and future experiments to resolve the remaining open questions will be discussed.
