The gamma strength function and level density of 1- states in 96Mo have been extracted from a high-resolution study of the (p,p) reaction at 295 MeV and extreme forward angles. By comparison with compound nucleus $gamma$ decay experiments, this allows a test of the generalized Brink-Axel hypothesis in the energy region of the Pygmy Dipole Resonance. The Brink-Axel hypothesis is commonly assumed in astrophysical reaction network calculations and states that the gamma strength function in nuclei is independent of the structure of initial and final state. The present results validiate the Brink-Axel hypothesis for 96Mo and provide independent confirmation of the methods used to separate gamma strength function and level density in $gamma$ decay experiments.

The validity of the Brink-Axel hypothesis, which is especially important for numerous astrophysical calculations, is addressed for 116,120,124Sn below the neutron separation energy by means of three independent experimental methods. The $gamma$-ray s
trength functions (GSFs) extracted from primary $gamma$-decay spectra following charged-particle reactions with the Oslo method and with the Shape method demonstrate excellent agreement with those deduced from forward-angle inelastic proton scattering at relativistic beam energies. In addition, the GSFs are shown to be independent of excitation energies and spins of the initial and final states. The results provide the most comprehensive test of the generalized Brink-Axel hypothesis in heavy nuclei so far, demonstrating its applicability in the energy region of the pygmy dipole resonance.
Experimental tests of the Brink-Axel hypothesis relating gamma strength functions (GSF) deduced from absorption and emission experiments are discussed. High-resolution inelastic proton scattering at energies of a few hundred MeV and at very forwrd an
gles including $0^circ$ presents a new approach to test the validity of the BA hypothesis in the energy region of the pygmy dipole resonance. Such data not only provide the GSF but also the level density and thus permit an independent test of their model-dependent decomposition in the Oslo method.
Scattering of protons of several hundred MeV is a promising new spectroscopic tool for the study of electric dipole strength in nuclei. A case study of 208Pb shows that at very forward angles J^pi = 1- states are strongly populated via Coulomb excita
tion. A separation from nuclear excitation of other modes is achieved by a multipole decomposition analysis of the experimental cross sections based on theoretical angular distributions calculated within the quasiparticle-phonon model. The B(E1) transition strength distribution is extracted for excitation energies up to 9 MeV, i.e., in the region of the so-called pygmy dipole resonance (PDR). The Coulomb-nuclear interference shows sensitivity to the underlying structure of the E1 transitions, which allows for the first time an experimental extraction of the electromagnetic transition strength and the energy centroid of the PDR.
The pygmy dipole resonance has been studied in the proton-magic nucleus 124Sn with the (a,ag) coincidence method at E=136 MeV. The comparison with results of photon-scattering experiments reveals a splitting into two components with different structu
re: one group of states which is excited in (a,ag) as well as in (g,g) reactions and a group of states at higher energies which is only excited in (g,g) reactions. Calculations with the self-consistent relativistic quasiparticle time-blocking approximation and the quasiparticle phonon model are in qualitative agreement with the experimental results and predict a low-lying isoscalar component dominated by neutron-skin oscillations and a higher-lying more isovector component on the tail of the giant dipole resonance.
New experimental data on the neutron single-particle character of the Pygmy Dipole Resonance (PDR) in $^{208}$Pb are presented. They were obtained from $(d,p)$ and resonant proton scattering experiments performed at the Q3D spectrograph of the Maier-
Leibnitz Laboratory in Garching, Germany. The new data are compared to the large suite of complementary, experimental data available for $^{208}$Pb and establish $(d,p)$ as an additional, valuable, experimental probe to study the PDR and its collectivity. Besides the single-particle character of the states, different features of the strength distributions are discussed and compared to Large-Scale-Shell-Model (LSSM) and energy-density functional (EDF) plus Quasiparticle-Phonon Model (QPM) theoretical approaches to elucidate the microscopic structure of the PDR in $^{208}$Pb.
