Abstract
A comparison between the predictions of a theoretical model describing the giant dipole resonance in hot nuclei, which includes the coupling to time-dependent thermal fluctuations of the nuclear surface, and experimental data on the cross section and the angular distribution associated with the dipole decay of is presented. Effects of different time scales for fluctuuations in the deformation and orientation degrees of freedom are observed.
