Improvements and Testing Practical Expressions for Photon Strength Functions of E1 Gamma-Transitions

Analytical expression for the E1 photon strength functions (PSF) is modified to account for the low-energy enhancement due to nuclear structureeffects (presence of low-energy state (LES)). A closed-form expressionof the E1 PSF function includes response of two nuclear states: LES and giant diplole resonance (GDR). Expression for the nuclear response function on electromagnetic field is based on a model of excitation of two coupled damped states. These approach is tested for different data sets for spherical nuclei. Impact on PSF shape of coupling between LES and GDR excitations is considered.
