RESUMO

A new approach to evaluate nuclear photofissilities at incident photon energies above the pion photoproduction threshold has been recently developed and proved to describe successfully the fissilities of natPb and 232Th target nuclei at energies ~0.2-4.0 GeV. The method is merely a simple, semiempirical description of the photofission reactions in which fissility, f, is governed by two basic quantities, namely, i) the first-chance fission probability, $\bar{f}_1$, for the average cascade residual, and ii) the slope, $\bar{s}$, of the chance-fission probability associated with the average evaporative sequence of fissionable residuals. In the present work we have extended this approach to analyse photofissity data that have been accumulated over the past fourty years or so, measured at 1 GeV, for nearly fourty target nuclei extending from Ti up to Np. Results have shown that the variation of fissility with Z²/A could be described quite satisfactorily by the proposed model.
