Abstract
Yields of the photonuclear reactions of various types induced in 71 elements have been determined experimentally by means of bremsstrahlung irradiation with different maximum energies, and detection of the resultant activities with a lithium-drifted germanium detector. From the results obtained, sensitivities in photon-activation analysis were evaluated and the reactivity of high-energy photons with nuclei in a wide range of atomic number was discussed.
