The photon induced reactions which are named as photonuclear reactions have a great importance in many field of nuclear, radiation physics and related fields. The crosssections of neutron (photo-neutron (y,xn)) and proton (photo-proton (y,xn)) productions after photon activation have been calculated by using TALYS 1.2 computer code in this study. The target nucleus has been considered gallium which has two stable isotopes, 69Ga and 71Ga. Furthermore, the pre-equilibrium and compound process contributions to the total cross-section have been investigated.

The cross-sections of neutron (photo-neutron (gamma,xn)) and proton (photo-proton (gamma,xn)) productions after photon activation have been calculated by using TALYS 1.2 computer code in this study. The target nucleus has been considered gallium which has two stable isotopes, Ga-69 and Ga-71.
