TL;DR: By exploiting Coulomb dissociation of high-energy radioactive beams of the neutron-rich nuclei, their dipole-strength distributions have been measured as mentioned in this paper, and a sizable fraction of ''pygmy'' dipole strength, energetically located below the giant dipole resonance, is observed in all of these nuclei.

TL;DR: In this paper, the dipole strength distribution above the one-neutron separation energy was measured in the unstable and double-magic Sn isotopes, and the results were deduced from Coulomb dissociation of secondary Sn beams with energies around.

TL;DR: The ground state structure of the near-drip-line nucleus 23O has been investigated in a one-neutron Coulomb breakup reaction as discussed by the authors, and the analysis of the deduced dipole-transition probability into the continuum infers a 2 s 1 / 2 ⊗ O 22 ( 0 + ) ground state configuration with a spectroscopic factor of 0.77(10) and thus a ground-state spin I π ( O 23 ) = 1/2 +, resolving earlier conflicting experimental findings.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors derived the differential cross sections with respect to excitation energy, which are directly related to the photo-absorption cross section and accordingly to the dipole-strength function.

TL;DR: In this article, the pygmy dipole resonance (PDR) was studied in a Coulomb excitation experiment at about 500 AMeV using the FRS-LAND setup at GSI.
