Abstract
The relative populations of final states in photonuclear reactions for 12C, 160, and 40Ca are examined in the light of information on the known major configurations present in the wavefunctions of those final states, with the assumption that the nucleon excited in the radiation absorption process is in fact the one emitted. This assumption is investigated and found to be reasonable for 12C and 160 but not for 40Ca. The data on relative populations of final states are interpreted to give information on the relative strengths of configurations in the wavefunctions of the ground states of the three nuclei.
