Single and multiple giant resonances: Counterplay of collective and chaotic dynamics

  • 1. National Superconducting Cyclotron Lab., Michigan State Univ., East Lansing, MI (United States)

Description

The damping of collective states is a subject of broad interest, especially in finite many-body systems. We present a model to explain the saturation of the spreading widths of giant resonances in hot nuclei and the spreading widths of multiphonon states in terms of the chaotic dynamics governing the coupling of collective motion to incoherent degrees of freedom.
