Relative cross sections for the reactions Zn 64 (γ, n)Zn 63, Zn 64 (γ,np) Cu 62, and Zn 64(γ, 2n)Zn62 have been simultaneously measured using 10-40 mev bremsstrahulung. The positron activities were detected by coincident gamma rays and the three activities were separated by halflife. The (γ,np) cross section is seen to be split into a strong and distinct resonance at 25 mev and a broad component which rises on the trailing edge of the dominant resonance. The 25 mev (γ,np) peak is very similar in shape to the (y,n) resonance centered at 17.5 mev and is about 20% of the (γ,n) amplitude. The (y, 2n) cross section is also at maximum near 25 mev but is less than 1/3 of the (γ,np) amplitude, thus, the large (γ,np) strength is apparently not statistical in origin. The (γ,np) resonance is identified with the T> isospin component of the giant resonance. This identification is consistent with estimates of the relative T component strengths and energy splitting obtained with recently published isospin sum rules and the enhancement of the (γ,np) reaction channel can be understood from the proton instability of known T=5/2 analog levels in the neutron-residual Zn63 nucleus.
