Abstract

Photonuclear reactions play an important role in nuclear physics, astrophysics and in various applications such as non-destructive measurement of nuclear materials (NDT). The study of (γ, n) reactions using deuterium targets i.e., photodisintegration of deuterons in addition to all the other (γ, n) reactions, is of considerable interest to these fields. In this contribution, we have studied the photodisintegration of deuterons with unpolarized photons. The angular dependence of the differential cross section is studied by expressing it in terms of Legendre polynomials. The analysis of differential cross-section is presented using the model-independent irreducible tensor formalism.
