Abstract
The (γ, n) and (γ, p) cross sections in A40 have been measured as a function of photon energy from threshold to 24 Mev. The (γ, n) cross section was found to have a peak value of 38 mbarns at 20 Mev. and an integrated cross section of 0.35 Mev-barn. These values for the (γ, p) cross section were found to be 120 mbarns at > 25 Mev. and 0.54 Mev-barn respectively. In spite of the higher (γ, p) threshold, it was found that the two cross sections were equal at 19.5 Mev. and above this energy the (γ, p) cross section became larger. This interesting result is discussed.Keywords
