Abstract

High resolution measurements of the (γ, n), (γ, 2n), (γ, p), (γ, np) and (γ, 2p) cross sections of 40Ar over a photon energy range of 10 to 28 MeV are reported. From this data, the total photon absorption cross section integrated to 26 MeV is found to be 434 ± 40 MeV mb. The results of a dynamic collective model (DCM) calculation compare favourably with the photoabsorption cross section, supporting the use of the DCM in this mass region. It is confirmed that isospin plays an important role in the decay of the 40Ar giant dipole resonance.
