Abstract
Two new formulas for the moment of the photoabsorption cross section, , have been determined, respectively, from the 1988 photoneutron evaluation of Dietrich and Berman and a mass-dependent symmetry energy coefficient, . The data for follow, with a RMS deviation of 6%, the power law , which is in agreement with Migdal's calculation of based on the hydrodynamic model and the sum rule. The additional inclusion of provides a deeper insight into the nuclear polarization of nuclei.
