Abstract

An unexpected enhancement in the average, reduced γ-decay strength at very low γ-transition energies has been observed in f p-shell nuclei as well as in the Mo region. Very recently, it has been discovered in ¹³⁸La, which is, so far, the heaviest nucleus to display this feature. In this work, we present an experimental and theoretical overview of the low-energy enhancement. In particular, experimental evidence for the dipole nature of the enhancement, and shell-model calculations indicating strong, low-energy M1 transitions are shown. Possible implications of this low-energy enhancement on astrophysical (n; γ) reaction rates of relevance for r-process nucleosynthesis are discussed.
