Two- and Three-Body Photodisintegration Cross Sections ofH3andHe3

Abstract
Electric-dipole photodisintegration cross sections of H3 and He3 into deuteron plus nucleon and into three nucleons are calculated using simple zero-range forms for the initial- and final-state wave functions. Final-state interactions between nucleon pairs in S states are taken into account. Shape fits to the experimental data are obtained, but the required normalization of the ground-state wave function is found to differ between two- and three-body breakup.
