Microcanonical entropies and radiative strength functions of $^{50,51}$V

The level densities and radiative strength functions (RSFs) of $^{50,51}$V have been extracted using the ($^3$He,$αγ$) and ($^3$He,$^3$He$^{\prime} γ$) reactions, respectively. From the level densities, microcanonical entropies are deduced. The high $γ$-energy part of the RSF is described by the giant electric dipole resonance. A significant enhancement over the predicted strength in the region of $E_γ \lesssim 3$ MeV is seen, which at present has no theoretical explanation.

Observation of Thermodynamical Properties in the $^{162}$Dy, $^{166}$Er and $^{172}$Yb Nuclei

The density of accessible levels in the ($^3$He,$αγ$) reaction has been extracted for the $^{162}$Dy, $^{166}$Er and $^{172}$Yb nuclei. The nuclear temperature is measured as a function of excitation energy in the region of 0 -- 6 MeV. The temperature curves reveal structures indicating new degrees of freedom. The heat capacity of the nuclear system is discussed within the framework of a canonical ensemble.
