Abstract;Recoil properties of 137 radionuclides formed in the photospallation reactions on 27Al, natV, natCu, 93Nb, natAg, natTa, and 197Au induced by bremsstrahlung beams of end-point energies (E0) from 250 to 1100 MeV have been investigated using the thick-target thick-catcher method. The obtained recoil properties showed E0-independence at E0.GEQ.600 MeV, reflecting the resonance nature in photonuclear reaction. The kinematic properties of the product nuclei were analyzed by the two-step vector velocity model. The forward velocity v after the first step of photon-reaction is quite different from that of proton-reaction at Ep.LEQ.3 GeV, though the difference disappears at higher energies. On the other hand the mean kinetic energy T of the residual nucleus in the second step is equal to that of proton-reaction, irrespectively of Ep. The Photon-Induced Intranuclear Cascade Analysis code reproduces well the experimental results of natV and natCu, but the same calculations for heavier targets give lower T values. The parameter values of .EPSILON.s=T/(.DELTA.A/At), which is an average kinetic energy of the emitted particles in a random-walk process of both the photon- and proton-reactions, were found to increase with an increase of At, but change the slopes to become constant above At=100.
