Abstract: (Elsevier)
Calculations of the giant dipole resonance in the particle-hole model, employing empirical values for the unperturbed particle and hole energies have been unsuccessful in pushing the dipole state to a sufficiently high energy. It is argued that unperturbed levels, corresponding to an effective mass of m ∗ /m ∼ 0.60–0.64 , should be employed. The couplings of particles and holes to vibrations are the crucial ingredients in these considerations. This also has the consequence of spreading out the M1 strength. A new interpretation of experimental strengths is proposed.
