Isoscalar dipole strength in Pb-208(82)126: The spurious mode and the strength in the continuum
The isoscalar dipole (compression) mode is studied first using the schematic harmonic-oscillator model, and then the self-consistent Hartree-Fock (HF) and random-phase approximation (RPA) are solved in coordinate space. Taking Pb-208 and the SkyM* interaction as a numerical example, the spurious component and the strength in the continuum are carefully examined using the sum rules. It is pointed o
