Phys. Rev. C 63, 047601 (2001) [4 pages]Level densities in hot 112Sn, 131La, and 134Ce nuclei from giant dipole resonance γ decayReceived 3 November 2000; published 1 March 2001 We have measured high-energy γ rays up to Eγ=23MeV from three highly excited medium mass nuclei, 112Sn, 131La, and 134Ce. The absolute 131La γ-ray multiplicity has been compared to statistical model calculation without any normalization. We have found that level density prescriptions of Pülhofer and Ignatyuk-Smirenkin-Tishin–Reisdorf fit the data with giant dipole resonance centroid energy and width taken from systematics, whereas the experimental level density parameters of Budtz-Jørgensen and Knitter fail to fit the data. © 2001 The American Physical Society URL:
