Abstract

We present the results of the photofission cross section for 238U measured between 200 and 1200 MeV. In the ‡ region our results agree with existing data on the total photoabsorption cross section, while at higher energy they show no evidence of the higher nucleon resonances, clearly seen in the photon absorption on the photon, and a damping of the absolute value.

      The first two topics will be discussed in this contribution; the status of the other two topics is summarized by V. Metag in the Proceedings of the conference at which our work was presented. Among the clearest experimental observations of in-medium effects is the suppression of the second resonance peak in total photoabsorption (TPA) experiments [29–31]. TPA for the free proton shows a peak-like structure at incident photon energies between 600 and 800 MeV, which is attributed to the excitation of the P11(1440), D13(1520) and S11(1535) resonances.
