The Photodisintegration of the Deuteron

The photomagnetic and photoelectric cross sections have been calculated for $\gamma$-energies from threshold (2.23 Mev) up to 20 Mev, using a central Yukawa potential with the same range (i.e., meson mass) in the ${}_{}{}^1{}_{}{}^{}S$ and ${}_{}{}^3{}_{}{}^{}S$ states and no interaction in the ${}_{}{}^3{}_{}{}^{}P$ state. Exchange and quadrupole effects have been neglected. Results are given for three ranges, equivalent to meson masses 199, 256, and 298.5, and are compared with recent measurements.
