Investigation of dipole strength at the ELBE accelerator in Dresden-Rossendorf

Using the methods of cold neutron capture and photon scattering the electric dipole strength function and the level density of the nuclei 78Se and 196Pt are investigated. Considering that the deexcitation process could be described by the same strength functions one could describe both experiments in a statistical model code. The report shows the data analysis as well as a new very fast statistical code, which was used to get the complete strength information up to the neutron separation energy
