AUTHOR (D.G.OWEN,E.G.MUIRHEAD,B.M.SPICER) INSTITUTE (3AULAML) REFERENCE (J,NP/A,140,523,1970) FACILITY (BETAT,3AULAML). 35 MeV Melbourne betatron. INC-SOURCE (BRST) METHOD (EXTB,SITA) DETECTOR (BF3) BF3 proportional counters arranged in the Halpern-type system. SAMPLE Isotopically enriched targets of 58Ni (99.89 %) and 60Ni (99.79 %). ANALYSIS (PLA) Penfold-Leiss matrix inversion method with analysis bin 0.5 MeV. CORRECTION The correction for multipole neutron emission in the (g,2n) process was applied after calculating the ratio of the (g,n) and (g,2n) cross sections by (i) subtracting a direct photoneutron contribution taken as 10 %, and (ii) considering the evaporation of neutrons from the excited compound nucleus. ERR-ANALYS (DATA-ERR) Statistical errors are given. COMMENT The total photoneutron cross sections for 58Ni and 60Ni have been measured with bremsstrahlung from threshold to 24 MeV. Although their magnitudes are greatly different, the two cross sections show similar structure over the gint dipole resonance region. The structural features of both are in only fair agreement with the dynamic collective model calculations of Huber, and of Seaborn, Drechsel, Arenhovel and Greiner. Howewer the agreement of the 60Ni cross section and the collective correlations calculation of seaborn et.al. is far better, and thus indicates the importance of shell-model aspects. STATUS (CURVE) Data from the Figures 1 - 2 have been compiled at the Russia MSU INP CDFE by V.Varlamov. HISTORY (20000207C) (20060124A) XN changed to 0-NN-1, lowercase.
