Abstract

In this work, experiments with a beam from the MT-25 microtron at bremsstrahlung end-point energies of 10–23 MeV were carried out using the γ activation method. Theoretical results based on talys-2.0 with standard parameters and a combined model of photonucleon reactions were compared with experimental values of relative yields. Experimental data in the energy range 19–23 MeV can be described with the combined model of photonucleon reactions due to the inclusion of isospin splitting of the giant dipole resonance.
