Abstract
We measured the isomeric yield ratios in the photonuclear reactions of natZr(γ, n) 89m,gZr, natZr(γ, xn1p) 86m,gY, and 89Y(γ, xn) 87m,g,86m,gY by the activation method. The high-purity natural Zr and Y metallic foils in disc shape were irradiated with uncollimated bremsstrahlung beams of 50-, 60-, and 70-MeV generated from an electron linear accelerator at Pohang Accelerator Laboratory. The induced activities in the irradiated foils were measured by the high-resolution γ-ray spectrometric system consisting of a high-purity germanium detector and a multichannel analyzer. The obtained isomeric yield ratios in the formation of 89m,gZr, 87m,gY, and 86m,gY are compared with the corresponding values found in the literature. The measured isomeric yield ratios at the bremsstrahlung energies of 50-, 60-, and 70-MeV are the first measurement except 87Y at 50-MeV bremsstrahlung.
