Isomeric ratios for products of photonuclear reactions on a natural mixture of silver isotopes

Abstract

Photonuclear reactions on a naturalmixture of silver isotopes at the electron-accelerator energy of 55 MeV are studied by the gamma-activation method. The yields of photonuclear reactions involving the emission of up to four neutrons are determined. The isomeric ratios are obtained for 104Ag and 106Ag. The values found for these isomeric ratios are compared with the results of other studies and with the results of calculations based on the cascade–evaporation model.
