A method of evaluating the amplitude and width of the giant dipole resonance. Cross section for photonuclear production of 47Sc on 48Ti
A new method is proposed for determining the maximum and FWHM of the excitation function of a photonuclear reaction with dominating giant dipole resonance (GDR). The technique is based on joint application of experimental study, analytical model and Monte Carlo simulations. A special regime for activation of an isotopic target by bremsstrahlung radiation, as well as a data processing algorithm providing an explicit connection between the target partial activity and Lorentz parameters of GDR have been developed. The novel approach is used to determine the cross section of the <sup>48</sup>Ti(γ,p)<sup>47</sup>Sc reaction. A way for verifying the obtained data is offered.
