Annotation

The process of photodisintegration of molybdenum isotopes was studied using the induced activity method. The yields of isotopes produced as a result of photonuclear reactions on a natural mixture of molybdenum isotopes were determined at an electron accelerator energy of 67.7 MeV. A comparison of the experimental results with the theoretical calculation carried out using the combined model of photonucleon reactions shows that the model gives a fair description of the experimental yields of photonucleon reactions on all molybdenum isotopes except for $^{92}$Mo. The high yields of the proton channels of photonuclear reactions on the $^{92}$Mo isotope and low yields of the corresponding neutron channels are interpreted based on the shell structure of molybdenum isotopes.
