Photodisintegration of manganese with formation of scandium radioisotopes at maximum bremsstrahlung photons energy of 40, 55 and 70 MeV

Abstract

The weighted and averaged over the bremsstrahlung photon spectrum cross-sections of inclusive photodisintegration reactions of ⁵⁵Mn(γ, X)⁴⁶Sc, ⁵⁵Mn(γ, X)⁴⁷Sc and ⁵⁵Mn(γ, X)⁴⁸Sc were measured at the maximum bremsstrahlung photons energy of E_γ ^max = 40, 55 and 70 MeV. Experimental data on the indicated reactions in the energy range below the threshold for pion photoproduction were obtained for the first time. The measured cross-sections were compared with the predictions of the TALYS1.96 and FLUKA nuclear reaction models.
