Abstract
A new method for the solution of experimental photonuclear yield functions for cross sections is presented. The method gives the “smoothest” set of cross sections as a function of photon energy consistent with the experimental yield. For this reason the term “least structure analysis” is used to describe the method of analysis. Cross sections derived by least structure analysis of trial yield functions are presented. The resulting cross sections are compared to the assumed cross sections used to derive the trial yield function. This comparison fully justifies the use of least structure analysis at all energies including energies higher than the giant resonance energy where other methods have failed to give physically acceptable solutions. Errors and resolution functions corresponding to the least structure solutions of the trial yields are also given.
