PHOTOPROTONS FROM OXYGEN, FLUORINE, NEON, AND OTHER LIGHT ELEMENTS

Abstract

The (gamma, proton) reaction in O, F. Ne, and C was studied with electrons of energies up to 36 mev. Survey studies were made of the Al, A, and B (gamma, proton) energy spectra. The studies were based on a one-to-one correspondence between electron- and photon-induced reactions. It was assumed that when analyzing electronproduction yields, the electron as associated with it a virtual-photon spectrum, similar to the real-photon bremsstrahlung spectrum. The virtual and bremsstrahlung spectra differ in the virtualphoton spectrum depends on the multipolarity of the induced transition and the angle between the incident electron beam and the emitted disintegration product. The el ctron production yields were analyzed with the use of the E-1 virtualp oton spectrum.
