Abstract
We have estimated the role of final-state interactions in the theory of the total cross section for photodisintegration of the deuteron at high energies. The Feshbach-Lomon model of nucleon-nucleon scattering was employed. Within the context of this model, final-state effects were found to enhance the total cross section by about 15 to 20% over the usual electric dipole calculation for photon energies around 60 Mev.
