Abstract

The 18O[(γ, n) + 2(γ, 2n)] and 18O(γ, p) cross sections have been measured using the bremsstrahlung yield-curve technique. Unfolding of the yield curves to obtain the cross sections is carried out using the Variable-Bin-Penfold-Leiss technique. The results obtained agree very well with the results obtained using monoenergetic photons. The accuracy of the bremsstrahlung yield-curve technique and the resolution obtainable with this technique are thereby established.
