We measured the isomeric yield ratios for the 44m,gSc isomeric pairs produced from four different photonuclear reactions 45Sc(γ,n)44m,gSc, natTi(γ,xn1p)44m,gSc, natFe(γ,xn5p)44m,gSc, and natCu(γ,xn8p)44m,gSc by using the activation method. The high purity natural Sc, Ti, Fe, and Cu metallic foils in disc shape were irradiated with uncollimated 2.5 GeV bremsstrahlung beams of the Pohang Accelerator Laboratory. The induced activities in the irradiated foils were measured by the high-resolution γ-ray spectrometry with a calibrated high-purity Germanium (HPGe) detector. In order to improve the accuracy of the experimental results the necessary corrections were made in the gamma activity measurements and data analysis. The obtained isomeric yield ratios for the 45Sc(γ,n)44m,gSc, natTi(γ,xn1p)44m,gSc, natFe(γ,xn5p)44m,gSc and natCu(γ,xn8p)44m,gSc reactions are 0.25 ± 0.03, 0.43 ± 0.05, 1.38 ± 0.14, and 1.89 ± 0.21, respectively. The present result for the natCu(γ,xn8p)44m,gSc reaction is in good agreement with the existing data. Our results for the 45Sc(γ,n)44m,gSc, natTi(γ,xn1p)44m,gSc, and natFe(γ,xn5p)44m,gSc reactions are the first measurements at 2.5 GeV bremsstrahlung. The obtained results are compared with the corresponding values found in the literature. The relation between the isomeric yield ratios and the complexity of the photonuclear reactions is discussed.
