Coincident neutron/proton pairs from lithium-6 photodisintegration with 40-100 MeV photons

Bremsstrahlung photons with endpoint energies from 55 to 100 MeV were used to photodisintegrate $\sp6$Li nuclei, and emitted neutron/proton pairs were observed in coincidence. Measurement of the energies and angles of the emitted pair allowed reconstruction of the photon energy, as well as the recoil angle and energy of the residual $\sp4$He nucleus. Cross sections for the $\sp6$Li(γ,np) reaction were computed by normalizing the data to measured yields and published cross sections for the $\sp2$H(γ,np) reaction.
