Abstract
The yields at several energies for the reactions , , , , , and were measured using the x-ray beam from the University of Illinois 300-Mev betatron. It was found that the ratio of integrated cross sections of the () to () reactions in and in is of the order of 0.1 and approximately 1-2 orders of magnitude smaller for and . The small () yields for and are consistent with statistical competition between emitted particles if the gamma-ray absorption decreases rapidly with energy above the giant resonance.
