Abstract The cross section for the3He(γ, 2p) reaction has been measured in a complete kinematics experiment in the energy rangeE γ=80–170 MeV, forθ P1=θ P2=90°. This configuration was selected in order to investigate the role of proton-proton final state interactions in the three-body breakup process. The measured proton spectra are seen to be consistent with a prediction using the Watson-Migdal formalism. The magnitude of the observed cross section clearly indicates an enhancement over phase space, presumably due to the strong proton-proton interaction in the final state. The experimental results agree, within their limited statistical accuracy, with a theoretical calculation which includes this effect.
