TL;DR: The Advanced GAmma Tracking Array (AGATA) as discussed by the authors is a European project to develop and operate the next generation gamma-ray spectrometer, which is based on the technique of energy tracking in electrically segmented high-purity germanium crystals.

TL;DR: In this paper, the relationship between the nuclear symmetry energy, the neutron skins, and the percentage of energy-weighted sum rule (EWSR) exhausted by the pygmy dipole resonance was investigated by using different random phase approximation (RPA) models based on a representative set of Skyrme effective forces plus meson exchange effective Lagrangians.

TL;DR: Evidence is presented for the assignment of the excited T SD band as a wobbling mode built on the yrast TSD band, based on comparisons to new calculations in which an aligned particle is coupled to a strongly deformed triaxial rotor.

TL;DR: In this paper, a comprehensive introduction to the study of nuclear structure at finite temperature is presented, where the authors have placed special emphasis on the general concepts that form the foundation of the phenomenon of giant resonances.

TL;DR: The gamma decay from Coulomb excitation of 68Ni at 600 MeV/nucleon on a Au target was measured using the RISING setup at the fragment separator of GSI, showing a peak centered at approximately 11 MeV, whose intensity can be explained in terms of an enhanced strength of the dipole response function (pygmy resonance).
