An absolute measurement of the photodisintegration differential cross section of the deuteron

We have measured the absolute \rm\sp2H(γ,p)n angular distribution using the Illinois LASA detector at the Saskatchewan Accelerator Laboratory's tagged photon facility. Using 40 to 90 MeV photons, we aimed to measure the differential cross section with a statistical precision of typically 5% in angular bins of $3\sp\circ$ and energy bins of 2 MeV. Although our measurement achieved this goal, the contribution of systematic errors was larger than anticipated and thus compromised the utility of this result.
