Abstract
The (𝛾, 1𝑛), (𝛾, 2𝑛) and (𝛾, 3𝑛) reactions cross sections the majority of which were obtained using beams of quasimonoenergetic annihilation photons were discussed. The significant systematic uncertainties of the experimental results far exceeding the achieved statistical accuracy were considered. The results of experiments for about 50 nuclei from 51V to 209Bi were analyzed using objective physical criteria of data reliability. It was shown that in many cases the systematic uncertainties of experimental cross sections were significant and data do not satisfy physical criteria. The experimental theoretical method for evaluation of cross sections satisfying those criteria was described. The systematic uncertainties of several types due to shortcomings of the method of photoneutron multiplicity sorting used in experiments and specific features of neutron detectors used. The new evaluated reliable cross sections of the partial reactions and total photoneutron reaction (𝛾, 1𝑛)+(𝛾, 2𝑛)+(𝛾, 3𝑛) were presented.
