Photon-induced two-nucleon knockout reactions to discrete final states
C. Giusti, F. D. Pacati
Abstract
Cross sections and photon asymmetries of the exclusive 16O(γ,pn)14N and 16O(γ,pp)14C knockout reactions are calculated for transitions to the low-lying discrete final states of the residual nucleus in the photon-energy range between 100 and 400 MeV. Exclusive reactions may represent a test of reaction mechanisms and a promising tool for investigating the dynamics of nucleon pairs in different states. Cross sections and asymmetries for both (γ,pn) and (γ,pp) turn out to be only slightly affected by short-range correlations and dominated by two-body currents. Therefore, two-nucleon knockout reactions induced by real photons appear well suited to investigate the nuclear current and the selectivity of individual transitions to its different components.
