The 19F(γ,n) reaction was studied by irradiating teflon with bremsstrahlung of energy increasing from 13 MeV to 21 MeV in 1 MeV steps. Photoneutron spectra were measured by the time-of-flight method. Excited states of 19F at 12.10, 12.38, 13.82, and 16.24 MeV were observed. The total integrated cross section between 11.9 and 17.9 MeV was found to be (14.4 ± 2.2) MeV mb. Branching ratios to the first group of excited states of 18F compared to the ground state were measured, along with resonance widths and approximate radiative widths. They are consistent with the interpretation that all four states arise from electric dipole d → f valence transitions, with the first two states having Jπ = 1/2−, and the second two having 3/2−.

Photoneutron energy distributions from a target of liquid neon have been measured at 90° by time of flight for bremsstrahlung endpoint energies increasing in 1 MeV steps from 19 to 32 MeV. The differential ground state cross section for the major (91%) isotope 20Ne has been obtained, together with an estimate of the strength of transitions to excited states of 19Ne. Six photoneutron groups are observed, reflecting photon absorption which correlates excellently with existing photoproton data, although the absolute cross section is about 10% smaller.It is noted that the giant dipole resonance, estimated by combining the photoneutron and photoproton data, is centered at approximately 20 MeV, which is anomalously low, and that the integrated cross section up to 28 MeV exhausts only half of the dipole sum.

Photoneutron distributions from 14N have been obtained by time-of-flight methods, for bremsstrahlung end-point energies increasing in 2 MeV steps from 15.5 to 29.5 MeV. A large part of the neutron yield is associated with the sequential decay of 14N to 12C, through well-defined intermediate states of 13C, at 7.55, 8.86, and 11.80 MeV, which are unstable against neutron emission. The (γ,n0) cross section for neutron emission to the ground state of 13N is found to agree very closely with the corresponding (γ,p0) cross section, implying a high degree of isospin purity for the giant dipole resonance of 14N. It is observed that the decay of the giant resonance proceeds freely through those odd-parity excited states of the A = 13 nuclei which are single hole states formed by the removal of a p-shell nucleon from the parent 14N.The integrated cross section for all neutron-producing interactions is found to be 88 ± 5 MeV mb.

Auger decay following inner-shell photoexcitation of atomic beryllium is studied using the University College London close-coupling codes. We reproduce some of the features observed experimentally by Krause and co-workers. The vastly predominant decay mode of Be 1s2s2np1P° is to Be+ 1s2np rather than the ground state of Be+ and the theoretical np/2s ratio agrees with the experimental value. The peak observed in the partial photoionization cross section for formation of 1s(2s2p3P) 2P° is due to photoexcitation of 1s2s(3s3p3P) 1P° followed by autoionization. Our theoretical result reproduces this feature. Strong configuration interaction effects limit the accuracy we can achieve for the radiationless decay width.

The absorption of IrF6 vapor between 0.7 and 1.3 μ consists of three distinct electronic transitions connecting the Γ8g ground state with higher Γ6g, Γ8g, and Γ7g states of the (5d f2g)3 configuration. In first approximation, Jahn–Teller forces vanish in the two Γ8g states, while the Γ6g and Γ7g states involve Kramers magnetic degeneracy, which cannot be split by electrostatic forces. Accordingly, no splittings of the ν2(eg) or ν5(f2g) excited states are observed in these spectra, but short progressions in ν5 do appear in the electric-dipole-allowed, vibronic parts of these transitions. These progressions are considered to show that Jahn–Teller anharmonicity can be induced by admixtures of odd-parity, orbitally degenerate electronic states, i.e. by the same mechanism through which these transitions derive their electric-dipole intensity.
