“…The experimental techniques, the observables and the quantities, which are deduced in these experiments, were reviewed in Ref. [1]. The expected increase of the of the spectral density of the γ beams at ELI-NP with about two orders of magnitude will bring the experimental techniques to a new level of sensitivity.…”

“…In a recent review [1], the status and perspectives of photonuclear research were discussed, covering both, fundamental science and applications. The development of quasimonochromatic γ beams with sufficient intensity, based the on the laser Compton backscattering (LCB) technique [2,3], opened the avenue for detailed studies of lowest-lying excitation modes in atomic nuclei, i.e., E1, M1 and E2 excitations.…”

An overview of the main directions of present-day studies with quasimonochromatic γ beams are discussed with an emphasis on the research opportunities which will be offered at the Extreme Light Infrastructure Nuclear Physics (ELI-NP) facility at Magurele near Bucharest in Romania. Experiments with γ beams at the extremes of high temperature and high neutron-to-proton ratios are outlined. Some of the experimental setups for nuclear structure, reaction and astrophysics studies, which are available at ELI-NP, are described. Perspectives for studies of exotic nuclei within the Gamma Factory experiment at CERN are discussed. The expected fission-fragment yields at the Gamma Factory are presented. The perspectives for nuclear structure studies with γ rays with orbital angular momentum are outlined.

Nuclear resonance fluorescence measurements provide direct sensitivity to ground-state transition widths by probing the photoexcitation process of nuclear resonances. A technique in Relative Self-Absorption (RSA) measurements, in which measurements are done at multiple absorber temperatures, was developed and tested with 27Al at the Darmstadt High Intensity Photon Setup of the Superconducting Darmstadt Linear Accelerator. The advantage of this technique, over the regular RSA, is the possibility to overcome the need for theory input on the effective temperatures and the uncertainties that they introduce in the measured level widths. The technique and the preliminary results of the first test-measurements are presented in this proceedings.

“…Such a competition between photo-proton σ(γ, p) and photo-neutron σ(γ, n) cross sections impacts a variety of nuclear and astrophysics phenomena -namely, bremsstrahlung [3,4], nuclear polarizability [5], threenucleon forces [6], collective properties [7], isospin asymmetry and symmetry energy in neutron stars [8][9][10][11], neon and silicon burning at the end of stellar evolution [12] and the nucleosynthesis of p-nuclei [13,14], which are shielded from the rapid-neutron capture by stable isobars. A recent review article by Zilges and co-workers discusses in detail various applications of photonuclear physics [15], e.g. finding new routes for production of medical radioisotopes or nuclear-waste transmutation.…”

Competition between $(γ,p)$ and $(γ,n)$ photo-disintegration yields

A comprehensive analysis of the competition between photo-proton and photo-neutron disintegration yields is undertaken by constraining photo-absorption data with physics principles -namely, dipole sum rules, decay properties to open channels, isospin selection rules and statistical evaporation from compound nucleus formation. The trend and magnitude of disintegration yields for self-conjugate nuclei are in agreement with the evaporation model of Blatt and Weisskopf. A substantial improvement is found between the exponential trend presented in this work and that determined by Morinaga using a similar approach. This work allows for the evaluation of frequently missing or inconsistent photo-proton contributions, which impacts the photo-disintegration of light and neutron-deficient nuclei, where photo-proton contributions are relevant.
