The Photo-Disintegration of the Deuteron

Abstract

The photo-magnetic and photoelectric cross sections have been calculated for $\gamma$-energies 2.62, 2.76 and 6.2 Mev, using different values of the deuteron binding energy (2.19 and 2.24 Mev). The calculations were carried out for a symmetrical theory with meson potential (Møller-Rosenfeld theory), the corresponding neutral theory (ordinary force) and a third version with no ${}_{}{}^3{}_{}{}^{}P$-interaction. Non-central forces were neglected. Results are given for two ranges, equivalent to meson masses 200 and 300. The influence of the $\gamma$-ray momentum on the angular distribution of the photo-nucleons should be noted.
