The 16 O͑g, pn͒ reaction was measured at E g ϳ 72 MeV with resolution sufficient to distinguish the low-lying states of the residual 14 N nucleus. Cross sections averaged over the acceptance of the detector system were determined for each of the resolved states. The relative population of residual states indicates that proton-neutron pairs coupled to ͑J p , T ͒ ͑0 1 , 1͒ play a minor role in the photon absorption process compared to ͑1 1 , 0͒ pairs and that both L 0 and L 2 pairs participate in the reaction.
