Evaluation of photonuclear data of Mo, Zn, S and Cl for medical and accelerator applications

As part of IAEA CRP on 'Compilation and evaluation of photonuclear data for applications', we evaluated photonuclear data of Mo, Zn, S and Cl isotopes for medical and accelerator applications. Available experimental data were collected and their discrepancies were analyzed to select or reconstruct the representative data set. The photoabsorption cross sections were then evaluated by applying the Giant Dipole Resonance (GDR) model for the energies below about 30 MeV, and the quasi-deuteron model for energies below 140 MeV. The resulting representative photoabsorption data were given as input for the theoretical calculations for the emission process of light nuclei including neutron, proton, deuteron, triton, He-3, alpha particles and gamma rays by use of the Hauser-Feschbach and the preequilibrium model.
