The charge distribution of residual nuclei has been studied in the disintegration of /sup 93/Nb by bremsstrahlung with E/sub gammamax/ = 4.5 GeV. Identification of the residual nuclei and determination of their yields were carried out by detecting the induced activity by means of a semiconductor Ge(Li) detector. Study of the charge distribution of isobars and comparison of the data obtained with the results of hadron-nucleus reactions permitted us to determine some regularities of the nuclear disintegration and to predict the probability of formation of residual nuclei which are hard to measure by the activation method. For quantitative estimates of the yields of the reaction products we used the five-parameter Rudstam formula. The nature and properties of the isobar and mass yields are discussed in comparison with calculations in terms of a two-step cascade-evaporative model.
