A study of the reaction pd → ³Heγ

We have measured the cross sections for the radiative capture reacrtion pd → 3Heγ at a range of proton energies from 200 to 500 MeV. The results are presented in the form of excitation functions at center-of-mass angles 60° and 90°. These results are compared with other radiative capture cross sections and with equivalent photodisintegration experiments using detailed balance. © 1982.
