Title: /sup 16/O(. gamma. ,p)/sup 15/N reaction for E/sub. gamma. / = 100--400 MeV

Journal Article · · Phys. Rev. C; (United States)

The differential cross section for the /sup 16/O(..gamma..,p)/sup 15/N process has been measured in the energy range E/sub ..gamma../ = 100--400 MeV at laboratory angles of 45/sup 0/, 90/sup 0/, and 135/sup 0/. The cross sections for the (..gamma..,p) reaction leaving /sup 15/N in its ground state, in its first and second excited states at E/sub x/roughly-equal5.3 MeV, and in its third excited state at E/sub x/ = 6.3 MeV were extracted from the tip region of the proton spectra measured at a series of bremsstrahlung end point energies. The data are compared with calculations based on a direct, single-particle knockout mechanism and on mechanisms involving two particles in an intermediate state.
