The experimental examination of the Gerasimov-Drell-Hearn sum rule requires the measurement of the spin dependence of the total hadronic photoabsorption cross section over a wide range of photon energies. Therefore measurements will be carried out at MAMI and ELSA which will cover the photon energie region of 140 MeV - 3000 MeV.
In order to test the new GDH-Detector and to study sources of systematic
uncertainties a pilot experiment was performed.
In this experiment the unpolarised total hadronic photoabsorption cross
sections on 12C, 1H, 2H and the neutron were determined
in an energy range of 240 MeV ≤ Eγ ≤ 1140 MeV.
The good agreement of the measured excitation functions with published data
proofs the suitability of the GDH-detector for the actual GDH-experiments
at ELSA.
The experimental setup, the method of data analysis and final results
will be presented.
