Abstract
Spectra of rays in the 2-30-MeV range have been observed following -induced reactions leading to the , , and systems. Shoulders in the spectra for MeV are interpreted as arising from the giant dipole resonance and are consistent with statistical-model calculations that use the giant-dipole-resonance strength function. Their observation offers the possibility of studying nuclear shapes and dynamics as functions of temperature and spin.
