Collisional Damping of Giant Dipole Resonance in 120Sn and 208Pb

A. Gokalp, O. Yilmaz, S. Yildirim, S. Ayik

We investigate the collisional damping of giant dipole resonance at finite temperature in the basis of a non-Markovian transport approach. We perform our calculations in Thomas--Fermi approximation by employing the microscopic in-medium cross-sections of Li and Machleidt and the phenomenological Gogny force. The results account for about 30% of the observed widths in 120Sn and 208Pb at finite temperatures.
