Résumé : Photoneutron cross sections were measured for 118Sn, 119Sn, 120Sn, 122Sn, and 124Sn near neutron threshold with quasi-monochromatic laser-Compton scattering γ rays. A systematic analysis of the present photoneutron data and existing neutron-capture data is made using the γ-ray strength function on the basis of the HFB + QRPA model of E1 strength supplemented with a pygmy dipole resonance, which was deduced from a previous study on 116Sn and 117Sn. Radiative neutron capture cross sections for two radioactive nuclei, 121Sn and 123Sn, are deduced through the γ-ray strength function method. © 2011 American Physical Society.
