Experimental data of photoneutron double differential cross-sections (DDXs) on 181 Ta and 209 Bi for photon energies 13 MeV 17 were incorporated into the photonuclear evaluation using CCONE code system reaction cross-section from EXFOR database. By increasing preequilibrium emissions through a reduction in single-particle state density neutron target nuclei within exciton model, results, including DDXs photons, show good agreement with corresponding experimental data. However, results...
