Summary: | Problems that are associated with the description of radiative processes in low-energy physics for nuclear data and which can be solved within modern microscopic theory of the nucleus are discussed. This discussion concerns recent results in the theory of the pygmy dipole resonance and of the radiative strength function and the status of the Axel-Brink hypothesis. It is confirmed that coupling to phonon degrees of freedom must be taken into account in order to explain this resonance and the radiative strength function. By using the self-consistent generalized theory of finite Fermi systems, in which this coupling is taken into account, the pygmy dipole resonance is calculated for the
68
Ni and
116
Sn nuclei, and agreement with recent experimental data is obtained for the mean energy and for a 5% exhaustion of the sum rule for
68
Ni. For the example of the
68
Ni and
116
Sn nuclei, the
E
1 radiative strength functions are calculated for the first time with allowance for coupling to phonons, and the microscopic cross sections for total
E
1 photoabsorption that were obtained within the self-consistent generalized theory of finite Fermi systems are employed in these calculations. |
