Abstract
The dipole strength of the nuclide 66Zn was studied in photon-scattering experiments using bremsstrahlung produced with electron beams of energies of 7.5 and 13.4 MeV at the γ ELBE facility as well as using quasimonoenergetic and linearly polarized photon beams of 30 energies within the range of 4.3 to 9.9 MeV at the HI γ S facility. A total of 128 J = 1 states were identified, among them 9 with 1+ and 86 with 1− assignments. The quasicontinuum of unresolved transitions was included in the analysis of the spectra and the intensities of branching transitions were estimated on the basis of simulations of statistical γ -ray cascades. As a result, the photoabsorption cross section up to the neutron-separation energy was determined and compared with predictions of the statistical reaction model. The experimental M 1 strengths from resolved 1+ states are compared with results of large-scale shell-model calculations.
