Abstract
The first experimental investigation of the near-threshold cross section for incoherent photoproduction on the deuteron is presented. The experimental technique involved detection of the MeV ray resulting from the radiative capture of photoproduced in the target. The total cross section was measured using an unpolarized tagged-photon beam, a liquid-deuterium target, and three very large NaI(Tl) spectrometers. The data are compared to theoretical models that give insight into the elementary reaction and pion-nucleon and nucleon-nucleon final-state interactions.
