Abstract

The first measurement of exclusive photodisintegration of He3 with polarized photons is reported. Cross sections and asymmetries for He3(γ→,pn)p and He3(γ→,pp)n at 235≤Eγ≤305 MeV are compared to a theoretical calculation which includes one-, two-, and three-nucleon photon, absorption. Two-nucleon absorption dominates the pn data, but is suppressed in the pp data. The pp data require the inclusion of three-nucleon absorption to describe the cross section and beam asymmetry over all momenta.
