Abstract: The isomeric yield ratio Ym/Yg is measured in 140Се(γ, n)139m,gСе reaction in 11 - 18 MeV energy range with the step of 0.5 MeV. Using inverse matrix method the experimental cross section of 140Се(γ, n)139m,gСе reaction is estimated. Obtained excitation cross section of the isomeric state of the nucleus 139Се is comparable with the results of the theoretical calculations performed with the TALYS-1.6 program suite.

Keywords: isomeric ratio, cross section, giant dipole resonance, bremsstrahlung, gamma-spectra.
