Abstract: (Elsevier)
A nonrelativistic, phenomenological treatment of deuteron photodisintegration and n-p capture is presented. The only approximations made are the neglect of nucleon structure, pion exchange currents, and multipoles higher than the octupole. In addition to the total and differential cross section, all parameters necessary to specify the final polarization with an arbitrarily polarized incident beam are calculated. Photodisintegration is calculated at laboratory photon energies of 10, 20, 40, 60, 80, 100, 120, and 140 MeV, and n-p capture at laboratory neutron energies of 0.1 and 0.548 MeV. Hamada's potential is used for computation of the wave functions. Photodisintegration calculations are done in several approximations to exhibit the effect of various terms.
