Photon absorption on a neutron-proton pair in $^3$He

Nuclear Theory 2009-10-28 v1

Abstract

The cross section of the reaction 3^3He(γ,pn)pspec(\gamma,pn)p_{spec} in the energy range 150 - 450 MeV has been calculated in a quasifree two-body model and compared with a recent kinematically complete experiment. In comparison with free deuteron disintegration the cross section is increased by a factor of about 1.5 in reasonable agreement with the data for photon energies above 200 MeV. At lower energies the data deviate from the two-body behaviour and thus suggest a more important role of the spectator requiring a more exact treatment.
