Abstract: (APS)
The reaction3 He(γ,pp)n was measured in a kinematic region which isolates the three-body absorption mechanism corresponding to the production of a pion on one nucleon, and its subsequent reabsorption on the remaining two-nucleon pair. Differential cross sections were obtained as a function of neutron recoil momentum Pn at fixed neutron recoil angle θn=45°, and as a function of θn for fixed Pn=300 MeV/c. The results are quite consistent with expectations of multiple scattering calculations. Final-state interactions between outgoing nucleons plays an important role, and are predicted to be minimized in out-of-plane kinematics.- 25.10.+s
