Abstract
Flux-weighted average yields for (γ, αXn) reactions on molybdenum and niobium nuclei were determined experimentally using bremsstrahlung with end-point energies of 20, 40, and 55 MeV. The measurements were carried out by the activation method in combination with semiconductor γ-spectrometry. The experimental flux-weighted average yields were compared to the theoretical values obtained with the program code TALYS 1.96 based on the nucleus collective model. Reactions (γ, αn) were studied below the Coulomb barrier and above.
