Abstract

The flux-weighted average cross sections of \(^{\mathrm {nat}}\hbox {In}(\upgamma ,x\hbox {n}\)) reactions and isomeric yield ratios of \(^{112\mathrm {m,g}}\hbox {In}\), \(^{111\mathrm {m,g}}\hbox {In}\), and \(^{110\mathrm {m,g}}\hbox {In}\) were measured with the bremsstrahlung end-point energies of 50, 60, and 70 MeV using an activation and off-line \(\upgamma \)-ray spectrometric technique at the Pohang Accelerator Laboratory (PAL), Korea. It was observed that the average cross sections of the \(^{\mathrm {nat}}\hbox {In}(\upgamma ,\hbox {xn})\) reactions increase with bremsstrahlung energy up to the Gaint Dipole Resonance (GDR) region. Thereafter, it shows a small decrease trend with bremsstrahlung energy due to the opening of another reaction channel. The isomeric yield ratios of same product in the \((\upgamma ,\hbox {n})\), (n,2n), (p,x), (\(\upalpha ,\hbox {x})\), and \((^{{3}}\hbox {He},\hbox {x})\) reactions for various targets show that the spin of the target nucleus plays a vital role besides the effect of excitation energy and input angular momentum in determining the isomeric yield ratios.
