description

In the history of the theory of deuteron photodisintegration one may distinguish roughly three periods: (i) the primitive period of the elementary theory using very simple wave functions and forces and considering lowest multipoles (E1, M1) only, (ii) the classical period still in the framework f conventional nuclear physics, but using realstic forces with correspondingly elaborate wave functions and considering also higher multipole transitions, (ii) the post-classic period with explicit treatment of subnuclear degrees of freedom like meson and isobar degrees of freedom and very recently quark-gluon degrees of freedom.
