SEARCH FOR JACOBI SHAPE TRANSITION IN HOT ROTATING 88Mo NUCLEI THROUGH GIANT DIPOLE RESONANCE DECAY

We report on preliminary results from the experiment performed at Legnaro National Laboratories aiming at the investigation of the shape evolution of the Mo-88 nucleus. The GDR spectra obtained for two data sets measured at Ti-48 beam energy of 300 and 450 MeV corresponding to 3 and 3.8 MeV temperatures, respectively, are presented. The low energy component in GDR strength functions, similar to the theoretical predictions of LSD model, possibly indicates the presence of Jacobi shape transition.
