Abstract

Known experimental and model-calculated data, along with independent calculations using the TALYS- and EMPIRE-codes, are compiled for the cross sections of reactions 14N(γ, 2n)12N, 14N(γ, 2p)12B, and 13C(γ, p)12B used in the photonuclear technique under development for the detection of hidden explosives. Indications of a substantial underestimate of model-calculated values, compared to the available measured results, are obtained.
