Abstract
The flux-weighted averaged over the energy range of bremsstrahlung spectrum from reaction threshold up to the maximum energy of γ-ray cross-sections <σ(E)> of the 93Nb(γ,n)92mNb and 93Nb(γ,n)92tNb photonuclear reactions were determined by the gamma-activation method within the end-point bremsstrahlung energies Еmax = 36…91 MeV. Activation of 93Nb targets has been done by a bremsstrahlung flux using an electron beam at the linear accelerator LUE-40 at RDC "Accelerator" NSC KIPT. The γ-ray spectra of irradiated targets were registered using the HPGe detector with an energy resolution of 1.8 keV for the 1332 keV line 60Co. To control the bremsstrahlung flux we used natMo witness-targets and a reaction cross-section of 100Mo(γ,n)99Mo. Obtained experimental cross-sections <σ(E)> of the studied reactions are in good agreement with the theoretical values calculated within TALYS 1.9 code and the results of other authors. The averaged cross-sections <σ(E)> of the 93Nb(γ,n)92mNb and 93Nb(γ,n)92tNb reactions in the energy range 35...45 MeV and > 70 MeV were obtained for the first time.
