Abstract
An experiment to study total nuclear photoabsorption cross sections at the linear electron accelerator LUE-8-5 (INR, RAS) in the photon energy region of 5–10 MeV called the pygmy resonance is simulated. The motivation for the experiment is new experimental data on photoexcitation of spin isomers of medium-heavy nuclei, which indirectly indicate a change in multipolarity of near-threshold photoabsorption of nuclei. The experiment implies direct investigation of the observed effects by measuring total photoabsorption cross sections in the photon beam. The simulation is performed using the GEANT-4 code. The parameters of the facility are optimized, and the choice of the detectors for the measurements is substantiated.
