Abstract
The photodisintegration cross section of the radioactive nucleus $^{241}\mathrm{Am}$ has been obtained using activation techniques and monoenergetic $\ensuremath{\gamma}$-ray beams from the HI$\ensuremath{\gamma}$S facility. The induced activity of $^{240}\mathrm{Am}$ produced via the $^{241}\mathrm{Am}$$(\ensuremath{\gamma},n)$ reaction was measured in the energy interval from 9 to 16 MeV utilizing high-resolution $\ensuremath{\gamma}$-ray spectroscopy. The experimental data for the $^{241}\mathrm{Am}$$(\ensuremath{\gamma},n)$ reaction in the giant dipole resonance energy region are compared with statistical nuclear-model calculations.
