Abstract
We study the effect of the spreading widths on the excitation probabilities
of the double giant dipole resonance. We solve the coupled-channels
equations for the excitation of the giant dipole resonance and the double
giant dipole resonance. Taking Pb+Pb collisions as example, we study the
resulting effect on the excitation amplitudes, and cross sections as a
function of the width of the states and of the bombarding energy.
