Abstract
Photofission cross sections of and nuclei have been measured at an incident photon energy of 100 MeV using monochromatic photons produced by Compton backscattering at the ROKK-1M facility (BINP, Novosibirsk). Detection of fission fragments has been performed by means of Makrofol track-etch detectors in close contact with metallic foils of the target elements. The values of fissility at 100 MeV deduced for the targets under investigation are found to range between and . The present results show consistency with the fissility trends calculated for 69 and 600 MeV monoenergetic photons using a formalism based on the current two-step model for intermediate-energy photofission reactions.
