Abstract: The average cross-sections were measured at the first time for ⁷Bе population at bremsstrahlung end-point energies 40 and 55 MeV and for the ¹⁰B(γ,t)⁷Bе reaction at bremsstrahlung end-point energy 20 MeV. The theoretical calculations carried out within the framework of the software packages EMPIRE-3.2 and TALYS-1.9 demonstrate the domination of the nonstatistical processes.

Keywords: average cross-sections, activation method, γ-spectrometry, beryllium, boron.
