Abstract:
We propose to measure the total photoabsorption cross section for hadron final states on Hand D for photon energies from 26 to 125 GeV. In addition, we wish to measure the A dependence of the cross section by making measurements on C, Cu, and Pb at photon energies of 32 and 65 GeV. The measurements will be made to a statistical accuracy of 1% in photon energy bins of 5 GeV. The experimental method using counters is similar to that we used at SLAC to measure total photoabsorption cross sections for photon energies from 4 to 18 GeV.
