Activation of111Cdmby single pulses of intense bremsstrahlung

Abstract
Described here is the use of a calibrated bremsstrahlung source to resolve conflicts in previous studies of the reaction Cd111(γ,γ’ )111 Cdm through a level located near 1200 keV. We report an integrated cross section of (9.8±2.5)×1029 cm2 keV with no evidence of any importance of nonresonant channels of excitation.
