Abstract

Isomer ratios in Co58 have been measured for the photonuclear reactions Co59(γ, n)Co58 and Ni60(γ, np)Co58. Their values [(ground-state yield)/(total yield)] are 0.43±0.03 and 0.68±0.03, respectively. Using the Huizenga-Vandenbosch formalism, a spin cutoff parameter σ=4.4±0.6 can be deduced if it is assumed that all the outgoing nucleons are evaporated. If direct processes are included, the spin cutoff parameter determined from the (γ, n) reaction will remain unchanged, whereas the one determined from the (γ, np) reaction will increase somewhat.
