Abstract
Differential cross sections (sigma(E-gamma,theta(n))) for the He-4(gamma,n) reaction have been measured at E-gamma = 50-71 MeV and theta(n) = 30-120 d egrees. These data are compared with theoretical predictions where a micros copic calculation of the He-3 and He-4 wavefunctions has been made within t he Alt-Grassberger-Sandhas, integral-equation formalism.
