Abstract

The results of tagged photon measurements of the ¹⁶O(γ, pn) and ¹⁶O(γ, pp) reactions, carried out with photons of energies of 80-131 MeV, are presented. Missing energy spectra for both reactions, with an energy resolution of 7 MeV have been obtained. The ¹⁶O(γ, pn) missing energy spectrum is very similar to that recently measured for the ¹²C(γ, pN) reaction. In both cases the recoil momentum distributions are quantitavely described by a quasideuteron mechanism. Using normalisation factors based on this mechanism the average cross section for the ¹⁶O(γ, pn) reaction, for nucleons ejected from the 1p shell, is 510 ± 95 μb. The corresponding cross section for the ¹⁶O(γ, pp) reaction is 10.0 ± 3.0 μb.
