What is the Pygmy Dipole Resonance ? Pygmy Dipole Resonance… • the low-energy E1 strength around low-energy tail of GDR in medium-heavy and heavy nuclei with N > Z. • predicted to have a structure like a dipole oscillation of the neutron skin against the core nucleus . → the neutron skin thickness. the neutron matter equation of state and neutron star.

The correlation between  D and neutron skin thickness • It is appeared from the study for 208 Pb that symmetry energy term of the EOS and neutron skin information closely related to the dipole polarizability  D . The  D is an inversely energy-weighted sum value of the B(E1).

The correlation between the PDR and the neutron number T. Inakura et al. Phys. Rev.

Summary High resolution inelastic proton scattering experiment was performed. • Energy spectra of scattered protons in Zr isotopes were obtained. • In 92 Zr, 94 Zr and 96 Zr, We can find strength that was not found in 90 Zr • Are they the evolution of the PDR ? → I have to decompose between E1 and M1 in the future. The E1 strength distributions and Dipole polarizability in 90Zr was obtained • Dipole Polarizability in 90Zr is smaller than theoretical prediction • → Under discussion…
