Description
Within the framework of a global microscopic approach, all the nuclear input required for nuclear reaction predictions are being, step by step, derived from a sole nucleon-nucleon effective interaction, namely the D1M Gogny force [1]. Nuclear masses [1], deformations, radial densities and level densities [2] have already been obtained and have shown a rather good agreement with experimental data either directly or when used, for instance, to derive optical models [3]. We now focus on the radiative strength functions within the QRPA approach [4], and in particular, aim at producing tables of gamma-ray strength functions for both E1 and M1 transitions. The current status of this project will be discussed with a particular emphasis on the consequences on capture cross section modelling.
