Abstract

The sensitivity of the ¹²C (over(γ, →), pd) reaction to photon linear polarisation has been determined at MAMI, giving the first measurement of the reaction for a nucleus heavier than ³He. Photon asymmetries and cross sections were measured for E_γ = 170 to 350 MeV. For E_γ below the Δ resonance, reactions leaving the residual ⁹Be near its ground state show a positive asymmetry of up to 0.3, similar to that observed for ³He suggesting a similar reaction mechanism for the two nuclei.
