EXPERIMENTAL STUDY OF He3 PHOTODISINTEGRATION,
Abstract
The 90 degree photodisintegration cross sec tions for He-3 were measured for incident photon energies between 8.5 and 21.5 MeV by detecting proton-deuteron coincidences in CsI(TI) scin tillators immersed in 1 atm of gas. The source of x-rays was the bremsstrahlung beam of the University of Illinois 22 MeV betatron. The simultaneous output pulses from the coincidences were displayed on a dual-beam oscilloscope and photographed. The particle energies were deter mined by pulse height measurement, and electron ere rejected by pulse shape analysis. Also, some information was acquired about the com peting three-body photodisintegration process by detecting proton-proton coincidences in the case where the angle between the two outgoing protons was near either 90 degrees or 180 degrees.
