Direct Determination of Photodisintegration Cross Sections and the p-process
نویسنده
چکیده
Photon-induced reactions play a key role in the nucleosynthesis of heavy neutrondeficient nuclei, the so-called p-nuclei. In this paper we review the present status of experiments on photon-induced reactions at energies of astrophysical importance and their relevance to p-process modeling.

Meson Retardation in Deuteron Photodisintegration Above
Photodisintegration of the deuteron above π-threshold is studied in a coupled channel approach including N ∆-and πd-channels with pion retardation in potentials and exchange currents. A much improved description of total and differential cross sections in the energy region between π-threshold and 400-450 MeV is achieved.

The total photodisintegration cross sections of three–body nuclei are calculated with semirealistic NN potentials below pion threshold. Full final state interaction with Coulomb force is taken into account via the Lorentz integral transform method. The experimental total cross sections are well described and the sum rule σ−1( 3H) agrees with elastic electron scattering data. The calculated 3He ...
متن کاملPhotodisintegration of Ultra-High-Energy Cosmic Rays revisited
Recent microscopic and phenomenological calculations of giant dipole resonances for A ≤ 56 nuclei are presented. The derived photodisintegration cross sections are exhaustively compared to the photonuclear data available to date. An accurate description of the data is found. Our new calculations are also compared with the previous and widely-used estimates of Puget, Stecker and Bredekamp. The p...
متن کاملHard photodisintegration of 3 He into p - p , p - n , and p - d pairs
Extensive studies of high-energy deuteron photodisintegration over the past two decades have probed the limits of meson-baryon descriptions of nuclei and reactions. At high energies, photodisintegration cross sections have been shown to follow the constituent counting rules, which suggests that quarks are the relevant degrees of freedom. In an attempt to more clearly identify the underlying dyn...
