Compton scattering from the deuteron at intermediate energies

Elastic and quasi-elastic photon scattering from the deuteron were studied in the context of the polarizability of the neutron. We have measured the elastic and quasi-elastic cross sections for the scattering of tagged photons from a liquid deuterium target at Eγ = 50 MeV and scattering angles of 50$\sp\circ$, 75$\sp\circ$, 110$\sp\circ$ and 140$\sp\circ$ and at Eγ = 70 MeV and scattering angles of 60$\sp\circ$ and 135$\sp\circ$. The use of quasi-monochromatic photons and two high resolution NaI spectrometers provided the means of separating the elastic and quasi-elastic contributions to the scattering spectrum.
