摘要
The photoabsorption cross section and ground-state branching ratio of Nd-142 were measured using quasimonoenergetic gamma-ray beams at several beam energies. Two peaks corresponding to the pygmy dipole resonance (PDR) were identified. The branching ratios were compared to statistical-model calculations. We found that the Brink hypothesis is violated, and that the branching ratios are only reproduced by introducing a possible new decay mode of the observed PDR.
