The brief review of the main methods for Giant Dipole
Resonance (GDR) experimental research and of main results obtained is presented.
The specific treatment is devoted to the yields and cross sections (excitation
functions) of total photonuclear reactions and also of partial reactions
corresponded to the various GDR decay channels. Main attention is devoted
to the features of experiments carried out using various photon beams,
first of all that of bremsstrahlung and relativistic photons annihilation
in flight because majority of published data has been obtained using these
methods. Additionally the main methods of different photonuclear reaction,
first of all of photoneutron reaction with different neutron multiplicity,
identification are analyzed. The systematical uncertainties caused by these
features and correspondent systematical discrepancies between the results
of various experiments concerned are investigated for both total and partial
reactions. The methods of taking into account and excluding of such kind
uncertainties are proposed. The possibilities of estimation and evaluation
of the main GDR parameters with much more higher accuracy based on the
systematical discrepancies under discussion excluding are discussed.
