A 35-MeV synchrotron has been used to measure photofission yields in the range of bremsstrahlung maximum energy E/sub gammamax/approx. =7--26 MeV for samples of /sup 241/Am and /sup 243/Am. The fission fragments were detected by multiwire spark counters. From the yield curves we have obtained the fission cross sections and fissilities of /sup 241/Am and /sup 243/Am in the region of the E1 giant resonance.
