A study of the photoneutron contribution to the giant dipole resonance of nuclei in the 64 ≦ A ≦ 86 mass region

Abstract

The partial photoneutron cross sections [σ(γ, n) + σ(γ, pn)] and σ(γ, 2n) of 64Zn, Ga, 70,72,74,76Ge, 75As and 76,78,80,82Se were measured with a monochromatic photon beam and a high efficiency neutron detecting system in the photon-energy range 8 ≦ E ≦ 30 Me V. Integrated cross sections are discussed. The evolution of the GDR as observed through the neutron exit channel only, is tentatively interpreted either in terms of isospin splitting or in terms of the dynamic collective model.
