Résumé :

In this work, we present new data on the Au197 photoneutron reactions in and above the giant dipole resonance region, obtained by using 8 to 39 MeV quasimonochromatic γ-ray beams produced at the NewSUBARU facility in Japan and a high-and-flat efficiency neutron detection system. We report absolute cross sections and mean photoneutron energies for the Au197(γ,inX) reactions with i=1 to 4. The photoabsorption cross section was obtained as the sum of the (γ,inX) reaction cross sections. The giant dipole resonance parameter values were obtained by fitting the experimental photoabsorption cross sections. The present photoabsorption cross sections are in good agreement with the Saclay results of Veyssiere et al., Nucl. Phys. A 159, 561 (1970)0375-947410.1016/0375-9474(70)90727-X. Thus, our study does not support the recommendation of Berman et al., Phys. Rev. C 36, 1286 (1987)0556-281310.1103/PhysRevC.36.1286, of lowering the Saclay photoabsorption cross sections by 8%. We observed a nonstatistical high-energy neutron emission in the (γ,n) reaction in the low-energy region between Sn and 10 MeV. The present results are compared with data from the literature and statistical model calculations performed with the TALYS and EMPIRE codes.
