Photonuclear reactions on 59Co at bremsstrahlung end-point energies of 40–130 MeV

Abstract Relative yields have been measured in the 40-130 MeV bremsstrahlung induced reactions of 59Co. The experiments have been performed with the beam from the electron linear accelerator LINAC-200 using the activation and off-line γ-ray spectrometric technique. The bremsstrahlung photon flux has been calculated with the Geant4 program. The cross sections were calculated by using computer code TALYS-1.96 with different models and are found to be in good agreement with the experimental data.
