【 摘 要 】

Recent results are reported showing the effects of thermal pairing in highly excited nuclei. It is demonstrated that thermal pairing included in the phonon damping model (PDM) is responsible for the nearly constant width of the giant dipole resonance (GDR) at low temperature T 104Pd at low excitation energy and various angular momenta is the first experimental evidence of the pairing reentrance in finite (hot rotating) nuclei. In the study of GDR in highly excited nuclei, the PDM has been extended to include finite angular momentum. The results of calculations within the PDM are found in excellent agreement with the latest experimental data of GDR in the compound nucleus88Mo. Finally, an exact expression is derived to calculate the shear viscosity η as a function of T in finite nuclei directly from the GDR width and energy at zero and finite T. Based on this result, the values η/s of specific shear viscosity in several medium and heavy nuclei were calculated and found to decrease with increasing T to reach (1.3-4) × h/(4πkB) at T 5 MeV, that is almost the same value obtained for quark-gluon-plasma at T > 170 MeV.
