Abstract: (Elsevier)
The 6 Li(γ,np) and 6 Li(γ,pp) reactions have been studied using tagged photons in the range 114 < E γ < 600 MeV. Excitation functions and missing energy spectra are presented. The simple structure of 6 Li and kinematical constraints are exploited to determine the relative importance of the various photoabsorption mechanisms. The genuine two-nucleon absorption can be identified up to photon energies of 500 MeV and is found to be most important at low missing energies. The 6 Li(γ,np) data are well reproduced by predictions of a quasideuteron model.
