A coincident measurement of the three-body photodisintegration of helium-3

This experiment measured coincident neutron-proton pairs from the photodisintegration of $\sp3$He. The bremsstrahlung photon beam was produced by a 100 MeV electron beam, supplied by the University of Illinois Nuclear Physics Laboratory 100% duty factor electron microtron. The energy and angle of the np pairs were used to reconstruct the energy of the photon, making this a kinematically complete experiment. The $\sp3$He(γ,np)p data were normalized to measured $\sp2$H(γ,np) yields and published deuterium photodisintegration cross sections.
