- Description
- Cross section measurements for photofission induced in <math>^{209}Bi\,\!</math>, <math>^{nat}Pb\,\!</math>, <math>^{197}Au\,\!</math>,<math> ^{nat}Pt\,\!</math>, <math>^{nat}W\,\!</math>, <math>^{181}Ta\,\!</math>, <math>^{51}V\,\!</math> and <math>^{nat}Ti\,\!</math> by 120- and 145-MeV quasi-monochromatic photon beams have been performed at the ROKK-1M facility (BINP, Novosibirsk). The fission yields have been obtained using Makrofol sheets as solid-state fission track detectors. Nuclear fissihty values have been deduced on the basis of Levinger's modified quasideuteron model of photonuclear interaction, and compared with available literature data. The trend of fissility in the 60-145 MeV energy range has been analysed for various target nuclei as a function of energy and of parameter <math>Z^2/A\,\!</math>.
