We have experimentally separated the contributions of photoabsorption and Compton scattering to He single and double ionization for high-energy photon impact by measuring the full momentum vector of the recoiling He{sup 1+,2+} ions. For recoil ions following photoabsorption large momenta and a distinct dipole emission pattern are observed. The ions produced by Compton scattering show small momenta. For the ratio of double to single ionization we find (1.22{+-}.06)% at 8.8{sup +1.5}-1.65 keV for Compton scattering and (1.72{+-}.12)% at 7.0{sup +2.1}-1.6 keV for photoabsorption. We compare our data with recent theories.
