Measurement of isomeric yield ratios of 197m,gPt and 190m2,g+m1Ir from the 198Pt(γ,n) and natPt(γ,xn1p) reactions induced by 55-, 60-, and 65-MeV bremsstrahlung

We have measured the isomeric yield ratios of 197m,gPt from the 198Pt(γ,n) reaction and 190m2,g+m1Ir from the natPt(γ,xn1p) reaction, induced with the bremsstrahlung end-point energies of 55-, 60-, and 65-MeV. The measurements were carried out by the activation method in combination with the direct γ-spectrometry. The experiments were performed at the 100 MeV electron linac of the Pohang Accelerator Laboratory (PAL). The obtained results at 55-, 60- and 65-MeV for the 197m,gPt from the 198Pt(γ,n) reaction are 0.166 ± 0.012, 0.174 ± 0.011, and 0.175 ± 0.011, whereas for the 190m2,g+m1Ir from the natPt(γ,xn1p) reaction are 0.072 ± 0.006, 0.084 ± 0.006 and 0.087 ± 0.006, respectively. The present results are measured for the first time over the investigated energy range. The present data are compared with the similar literature data at lower energy to examine the role of excitation energy.
