Abstract

We have determined the isomeric ratios in 113In(γ, n)112m,gIn and 113In(γ, 2n)111m,gIn photonuclear reactions of natural indium induced by bremsstrahlungs with end-point energies in the giant dipole resonance (GDR) region. The investigated samples were irradiated at the electron accelerator Microtron MT-25 of the Flerov Laboratory of Nuclear Reactions, Joint Institute for Nuclear Research, Dubna. The gamma spectra of the samples irradiated were measured with a spectroscopic system consisting of an 8192-channel analyzer and a high-energy resolution (180 keV at gamma ray 1332 keV of 60Co) HP(Ge) semiconductor detector Canberra. The GENIE2000 (Canberra) computer program was used for data processing. The results were discussed and compared with those of other authors. For both the mentioned reactions, the isomeric ratios in the bremsstrahlung energy range from 19 to 24 MeV in this work are new measurements.
