Abstract

The results of the photoproduction of isomeric pairs from the ({\gamma},xn) and ({\gamma},pxn) reactions on nuclei from Zr up to Ta at the bremsstrahlung end-point energy range 30-100 MeV are systematized. Measurements were performed at the electron beam of the LUE-40 linac RDC "Accelerator" NSC KIPT using the activation method and off-line {\gamma}-ray spectrometric technique. The theoretical isomeric ratios IR for the nuclei-products of studied reactions were calculated using the cross-sections {\sigma}(E) from the TALYS1.95 code for six different level density models. The data from the international databases were additionally used to compare experimental results and theoretical predictions. The obtained results let us make conclusions about trends of values and energy dependence of IR in studied photonuclear reactions. Further directions of experimental research in the RDC "Accelerator" NSC KIPT are discussed.
