Description
Radiative strength functions (RSFs) model the bulk electromagnetic response of highly-excited nuclei and are critical inputs for statistical reaction codes. In this talk, I present a definition of the RSF that is consistent with Hauser-Feshbach reaction codes and that can be efficiently computed with the shell model by taking advantage of the energy-localized Brink-Axel hypothesis.
