Abstract

Differential cross sections (σ(Eγ,θn)) for the 4He(γ,n) reaction have been measured at Eγ=50–71 MeV and θn=30–120°. These data are compared with theoretical predictions where a microscopic calculation of the 3He and 4He wavefunctions has been made within the Alt-Grassberger-Sandhas, integral-equation formalism.
