Quasi-free Photoproduction from the Bound Nucleon
Differential cross-sections for quasi-free photoproduction from the
proton and neutron bound in the deuteron have been measured for MeV at usind the Glasgow photon
tagger at MAMI, the Mainz 48 cm 64 cm NaI(Tl) photon
detector and the G\"ottingen SENECA recoil detector. For the proton
measurements made with both liquid deuterium and liquid hydrogen targets allow
direct comparison of "free" photoproduction cross-sections as extracted
from the bound proton data with experimental free cross sections which are
found to be in reasonable agreement below 320 MeV. At higher energies the
"free" cross sections extracted from quasifree data are significantly smaller
than the experimental free cross sections and theoretical predictions based on
multipole analysis. For the first time, "free" neutron cross sections have been
extracted in the -region. They are also in agreement with the
predictions from multipole analysis up to 320 MeV and significantly smaller at
higher photon energies
