The angular distribution of the 12C(γ,pn) reaction for Eγ=120−150 MeV
The angular distribution of nucleons emitted in the 12C(γ,pn) reaction has been measured using tagged photons at the Mainz microtron MAMI. The variation of the reaction strength with the polar angles of the two emitted nucleons is reported for Eγ=120−150 MeV. The proton angular distribution peaks at more backward angles than the 2H(γ,p) differential cross section indicating a departure from the simple quasi-deuteron model of 2N photo-emission. The distribution shape is in reasonable agreement with microscopic theoretical models which include both π- and ρ-exchange.
Mechanisms in theC12(γ,pn)and(γ,pp)Reactions
${}^{12}\mathrm{C}(\ensuremath{\gamma},pn)$ and $(\ensuremath{\gamma},pp)$ cross sections have been measured in kinematics which emphasize direct $2N$ knockout for ${E}_{\ensuremath{\gamma}}\phantom{\rule{0ex}{0ex}}=\phantom{\rule{0ex}{0ex}}120--400\mathrm{MeV}$ and ${\ensuremath{\theta}}_{p}\phantom{\rule{0ex}{0ex}}=\phantom{\rule{0ex}{0ex}}23\ifmmode^\circ\else\textdegree\fi{}--152\ifmmode^\circ\else\textdegree\fi{}$. The cross sections for both reactions peak strongly in the $\ensuremath{\Delta}$-resonance region. Theoretical calculations that account for the medium dependence of the $\ensuremath{\Delta}$ propagator predict a similar photon energy dependence to the data and describe the …
The12C(γ,NN)reaction studied over a wide kinematic range
The ${}^{12}\mathrm{C}(\ensuremath{\gamma},np)$ and ${}^{12}\mathrm{C}(\ensuremath{\gamma},pp)$ reactions have been studied using the Glasgow photon tagging spectrometer at the Mainz MAMI electron microtron for ${E}_{\ensuremath{\gamma}}=150--700$ MeV over a kinematic range which extends well beyond the approximately back-to-back detector arrangements of previous work. For ${}^{12}\mathrm{C}(\ensuremath{\gamma},np)$ the general trends of the missing energy distributions are reproduced over a wide range of kinematics and photon energies by the theory developed by the Valencia group. The corresponding ${}^{12}\mathrm{C}(\ensuremath{\gamma},pp)$ channel is overestimated by a factor of \ensurem…
