  17. Summary • Unique technique to extract level densities and -strength function experimentally • New Sm data show that the level density continues to decrease as one approaches the N=82 closed shell • The M1 pygmy resonance observed in deformed nuclei vanishes in the Sm nuclei as one approaches N=82 • We still don’t understand the large enhancement in the strength function for low E in Fe, Mo and V isotopes ISOLDE workshop 2007

  18. Future outlook • New particle detector system, which will increase the efficiency 5-10 times • Polarization measurments of the upbend in the strength function at low E, maybe with GRETINA or AGATA • Study level density as a function of spin • Investigate/test possibility of using inverse reactions ISOLDE workshop 2007
