The 2H (),, p ) n cross section was measured absolutely at 0 ° for the outgoing proton, for photon energies between 8 and 18 MeV. The rising trend observed in the cross section in this energy region indicates the existence of the theoretically predicted minimum. Our results at Ev..~ 10 MeV are well described by recent relativistic calculations, the data around 15 MeV, on the contrary, are commonly underestimated.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
