Description
Photon strength functions for $^{58}$Fe using Oslo and Shape methods as well as the Forward Method have been extracted using particle-gamma coincidence data measured with the Detector Array for Photons, Protons and Exotic Residues (DAPPER). Using the Oslo and Shape methods, the impact on the resulting level density and photon strength function of different treatments of gamma-ray energies are explored. While the results using Oslo and Shape methods did not allow definitive evidence for a low-energy enhancement (LEE), results from the Forward Method indicated a LEE consistent with previous measurements. These results will be presented along with a description of subsequent experiments using DAPPER that are still in analysis as well as plans for the near future.
