The $(\ensuremath{\gamma},d)$ and $(\ensuremath{\gamma},t)$ reactions on ${}^{6}$Li were studied at average (tagged) photon energies of 59 and 75 MeV. Differential cross sections were obtained at five different angles (30$\ifmmode^\circ\else\textdegree\fi{}<~{\ensuremath{\theta}}_{\mathrm{lab}}<~150\ifmmode^\circ\else\textdegree\fi{})$, from which the integrated-over-angle cross sections for the ${d}_{0}$ and ${t}_{0}$ channels were determined. The experimental results are discussed in terms of a cluster model calculation.
Use of residual-state decay γ-rays could be a powerful tool in the study of photonuclear reactions. The practicality of this technique in a tagged-photon experiment is demonstrated for the first time with data on the 12 C(γ, p) reaction.
The polarizabilities of nucleons imbedded in C-12 and O-16 nuclei are measured via Compton scattering of 61 and 77 MeV photons, leading to alpha(N)approximately = (11.5 +/- 0.8 +/- 2.1) x 10(-4) fm3 and beta(N) approximately = (2.5 +/- 0.8 +/- 2.1) x 10(-4) fm3 in close agreement with the free-nucleon values.
