Description

Cross sections for the reaction 197Au(γ, chin)(chi<=12) have been measured for bremsstrahlung end-point energies in the range 60-340 MeV. From these dominant cross sections, the total photon absorption cross section is determined using a cascade-evaporation calculation to account for the missing reaction channels. The enhancement factor for the classical E1 sum rule is found to be 0.93+-0.10. (orig.)
