Expérience GANIL/LISE/MAYA ; International audience ; The Isoscalar Giant Monopole Resonance (ISGMR) and the Isoscalar GiantDipole Resonance (ISGDR) compression modes have been studied in thedoubly-magic unstable nucleus $^{56}$Ni. They were measured by inelastic α-particlescattering in inverse kinematics at 50 MeV/u with the MAYA active targetat the GANIL facility. The centroid of the ISGMR has been obtained atEx = 19.1 ± 0.5 MeV. Evidence for the low-lying part of the ISGDR has been found at Ex = 17.4 ± 0.7 MeV. The strength distribution for the dipolemode shows similarity with the prediction from the Hartree-Fock (HF) basedrandom-phase approximation (RPA) [1]. These measurements confirm inelasticα-particle scattering as a suitable probe for exciting the ISGMR and the ISGDRmodes in radioactive isotopes in inverse kinematics.
