Interaction of photons with silver and indium nuclei at energies up to 20 MeV

Abstract

The yields of photonuclear reactions in the 107Ag, 113In, and 115In nuclei have been measured. Monte Carlo simulations have been performed using the Geant4 code, and the results have been compared with the experimental ones. The isomeric ratios of the yields in the reactions 107Ag({\gamma},n)106m,gAg and 113In({\gamma},n)112m,gIn have been determined. The cross sections for the reactions 107Ag({\gamma},n)106gAg and 107Ag({\gamma},2n)105Ag at an energy of 20 MeV have been calculated on the basis of the experimental data.
