A model is proposed for double pion photoproduction on nuclei that is accom
panied by nucleon emission. Simple models that faithfully reproduce single-
particle differential cross sections are used to describe photon interactio
ns with intranuclear nucleons. The calculated cross sections for pion photo
production on C-12 nuclei are compared with inclusive pion spectra measured
in the second resonance region of photon energies. (C) 2000 MAIK "Nauka/ln
