Description
Summary:Bibliography: leaves 94-98. === Theoretical calculations predict that deuteron photodisintegration is sensitive to meson exchange current and isobar configuration contributions in the threshold (2.225 MeV) region. These effects are manifested chiefly through Ml transitions, which reach maximum amplitude in this energy region. The calculated size of these effects can be verified from an angular distribution measurement of the photo-products.
