Analysis of the charge distribution of products of photodisintegration of silver at E /sup max//sub. gamma. / = 4. 5 GeV

Measurements of yields of products of photodisintegration of silver are reported for a bremsstrahlung maximum energy 4.5 GeV. The experimental data are presented in the form of curves of the charge distribution of isobars characterized by average mass numbers. Comparison with the results of investigation of the distribution of the products of disintegration of Ag by protons and ions and also of the photodisintegration of lighter targets permits confirmation of the universality of the shape of the charge-distribution curves. Estimates of the yields of the photodisintegration products were carried out by means of the Rudstam formula, with inclusion of corrections taking into account nucleon pairing in the nucleus.
