Abstract

The total cross section for photoproduction of hadrons on the deutron, σTd, has been measured for photon energies in the range 0.265–40215 GeV. From this, using results for the photon total cross section, obtained previously with the same apparatus, the neutron total cross section has been determined in the resonance region. The resonant structure is found to be quite different from that for the proton. Thereafter the neutron cross section falls off steadily with energy, and the values obtained are consistently lower than those for the proton. Forward scattering amplitudes have been evaluated for the deuteron.

      Recent data of the GRAAL collaboration shows that the total cross sections of photoabsorption on the proton and neutron, obtained by subtracting the background using a deuterium target, practically coincide in the energy range from 700 to 1500 MeV [1]. The contradiction of this conclusion in the literature [2] encouraged us to conduct additional measurements of the total cross section by summing the partial cross sections for photoproduction of mesons. Previously this was done for the free proton [3].

      Citation Excerpt :

      In those studies, the double pion photoproductions were found to be approximately isospin-independent. Therefore, the photon-absorption cross section on the deuteron, which is about twice as large as that on the proton [10–12], is understood as the sum of the contributions from the nucleons in the deuteron. The experiment was carried out at the Laboratory of Nuclear Science, Tohoku University.
