Abstract
A model accounting for the time dependence of thermal shape fluctuations in hot nuclei and their effects on the giant dipole resonance (GDR) is presented. Experimental data for Er and Sn isotopes are compared with theoretical calculations, and evidence for the motional narrowing of the GDR is investigated.This publication has 20 references indexed in Scilit:
