Predicted cross sections for photon-induced particle emission

Nuclear Theory 2007-05-23 v2 Astrophysics Nuclear Experiment

Abstract

Cross sections for the photon-induced particle-emission reactions (gamma,n), (gamma,p), and (gamma,alpha) are given for all natural isotopes from Ti to Bi. The target nuclei are assumed to be in their ground states, except for 180Ta which is naturally occurring as the isomer 180mTa. The cross sections are calculated in a statistical model (Hauser-Feshbach) approach and covering an energy range from threshold up to 7.35 MeV above the threshold (14.7 MeV above threshold for (gamma,alpha) reactions). The results are intended to aid conception and analysis of experiments which can also be used to test the methods involved in predicting astrophysical reaction rates for nucleosynthesis.
