Semiclassical description of multiple giant dipole resonance excitation and decay

Abstract

A semiclassical description of multiple giant resonance excitation and decay that incorporates incoherent fluctuation contributions of the Brink-Axel type is developed. Numerical calculations show that the incoherent contributions are important at low to intermediate bombarding energies.
