Photodisintegration of Molybdenum Isotopes

The process of photodisintegration of molybdenum isotopes was studied using the induced activity method. The yields of isotopes produced as a result of photonuclear reactions on a natural mixture of molybdenum isotopes were determined at an electron accelerator energy of 67.7 MeV. A comparison of the experimental results with the theoretical calculation carried out using the combined model of photonucleon reactions shows that the model gives a fair description of the experimental yields of photonucleon reactions on all molybdenum isotopes except for 92Mo. The high yields of the proton channels of photonuclear reactions on the 92Mo isotope and low yields of the corresponding neutron channels are interpreted based on the shell structure of molybdenum isotopes.
