The photoneutron cross section of 45Sc has been measured from threshold to 25 MeV using bremsstrahlung and direct neutron detection. The cross section is found to exhibit a large width of approximately 8 MeV and this is interpreted in terms of the Danos hydrodynamic model for the giant resonance of deformed nuclei. The integrated cross section to 25 MeV is 158 ± 24 MeV mb.
