The results of joint analysis of the photonuclear reaction cross sections for nat,107,109Ag obtained in experiments carried out with different beams of γ-quanta are presented. The data for total photoneutron reaction cross-section σ (γ, tot) = σ (γ, 1n) + σ (γ, 2n), as well as for σ (γ, 1n) cross- section were analyzed. It was found that various experimental data obtained for natAg and 107Ag agree with each other in general, but data obtained for total photoneutron reaction 109Ag(γ, tot) obtained using the beam of Bremsstrahlung contradict with all other data significantly. It was shown that this only unique cross-section of 109Ag(γ, tot) reaction is not reliable because of large error in absolute normalization. The new cross-section of the reaction 109Ag(γ, tot) was estimated as the result of its putting into consistency with the data of various experiments under discussion.
