Description:
The differential cross section for the 2H(γ, n) reaction was measured at Maxlab using tagged photon energies from 10 to 70 MeV. This measurement may be used to check the crosssections of a (γ, n) reaction, as the two-body photo-disintegration cross-section of deuterium is well-known. The results were compared with a calculation made from a parametrization of all available data.
