Study of NN correlations by polarised photons* — •F.A. Natter, P. Grabmayr, T. Hehl, T. Lamparter, M. Mayer, R. Schneider, G.J. Wagner, and S. Wunderlich — Physikalisches Institut, Universität Tübingen, for the A2 – Collaboration
New attempts to investigate the short range nature of the NN interaction (S
RC)
have been made by use of polarised tagged photons in NN knockout reaction
on 4He.
First experiments with 6Li [1] confirmed the α-d cluster model an

the similarity of the 6Li(γ,np)4He g.s.
channel to the free deuteron photodesintegration.
The comparison of 12C(γ,NN) data [2] to calcula
tions
from the Gent and Valencia groups [3] yielded a quantitative understanding
of the underlying mechanisms,
e. g. one- and two body absorption, pion production, FSI and contributions
fromMEC and IC. The direct two body photoabsorption on a NN pair was shown to r
esult
in low missing energies allowing its separation from the competing processe
s.
Relative momenta distributions of these nucleons before the knockout are
enhanced at high momenta relative to the ones in deuterium, which might ind
icate
a signature of SRC. Regarding the measured angular distributions and
(γ,pp)/(γ,np) ratio [4] the ρ exchange
contributions and the need of medium modifications of the Δ propagat
or
are under discussion.
The 4He(γ→,NN) experiment was performed becaus
e
the photon asymmetry for the NN absorption is predicted [5] to be rather
sensitiv to SRC, enhanced by the high central density and the reduced FSI
influence due to the few body system.
This experiment has taken place in 1996 at MAMI in the photon energy range
of
100 < Eγ < 800 MeV employing a new 4He cryotarget, the Glasgow
tagger, the PiP and TOF spectrometer.
Data have been taken with unpolarized and linearly polarized beam, produced
via
coherent bremsstrahlung from a diamond radiator (Pγ ≈ 65
%)
at peak energies around 220, 280 and 350 MeV.
Missing mass spectra, excitation functions and asymmetries on D and 4He
will
be presented and compared with previous results.
