Fine structure in the208Pb(γ,n) cross section

  • Published:
Zeitschrift für Physik A Atoms and Nuclei

Abstract

The total photoneutron cross section of208Pb was measured between 8 and 13 MeV using the bremsstrahlung photon facility from a 35 MeV linac. Considerable resonance structure was observed in the cross section, of which the peak around 9 MeV, as well as the structure around 10.8 MeV may be due toE2 excitations.
