Two-Body Photodisintegration of the Deuteron up to 2.8 GeV

Measurements were performed for the photodisintegration cross section of the deuteron for photon energies from 1.6 to 2.8 GeV and center-of-mass angles from 37° to 90°. The measured energy dependence of the cross section at ${\theta }_{\mathrm{c}.\mathrm{m}.\mathrm{}}=90\mathrm{}°$ is in agreement with the constituent counting rules.
