High temperature giant dipole and isoscalar resonances
We present a systematic study of the Giant Dipole Resonance (GDR) at high temperatures (T≧4 MeV) in the framework of a semiclassical approximation that uses them1 andm3 RPA sum rules to estimate the GDR mean energy. We focus on the evolution withT of the collective nature of the GDR and of theL=0, 2, 3 and 4 isoscalar resonances. We find that the GDR remains particularly collective at highT, suggesting that it might be possible to observe it experimentally even at temperatures close to the maximum one a nucleus can sustain.
