Deuteron photodisintegration

Journal Article · · Phys. Rev. C; (United States)
The photodisintegration of the deuteron is investigated with emphasis on the differential cross section D(..gamma..,p)n in the forward direction. However the angular distribution as well as the ..gamma.. asymmetry are also given. The calculation takes relativistic, pion exchange, and ..delta..(1232) corrections into account. Nonlocal nucleon-nucleon interactions are treated in a manner in which gauge invariance is respected. The differences between various approximations beyond the Siegert limit are discussed. The role of the D-state probability of the deuteron in the forward direction is studied and the difference of two gauges before and after the inclusion of various corrections are presented. Finally a comparison with experiment is carried out.
