The $\gamma n \to \pi^0 n$ differential cross section evaluated for 27 energy bins span the photon-energy range 290-813 MeV (W = 1.195-1.553 GeV) and the pion c.m. polar production angles, ranging from 18 deg to 162 deg, making use of model-dependent nuclear corrections to extract pi0 production data on the neutron from measurements on the deuteron target. Additionally, the total photoabsorption cross section was measured. The tagged photon beam produced by the 883-MeV electron beam of the Mainz Microtron MAMI was used for the 0-meson production. Our accumulation of 3.6 x 10^6 $\gamma n \to \pi^0 n$ events allowed a detailed study of the reaction dynamics. Our data are in reasonable agreement with previous A2 measurements and extend them to lower energies. The data are compared to predictions of previous SAID, MAID, and BnGa partial-wave analyses and to the latest SAID fit MA19 that included our data. Selected photon decay amplitudes $N^* \to \gamma n$ at the resonance poles are determined for the first time.

At the Bonn 500 MeV synchrotron the differential cross sections for the photoproduction of neutral pions on protons and neutrons have been measured in a single experiment using a target of liquid deuterium. The final state has been completely determined by measuring the outgoing pion and one nucleon in coincidence. Measurements of the ratio R = π 0 n/ π 0 p have been done at different angles and energies. The possible existence of an isotensor contribution has been limited to (−2 ± 3)% of the isovector amplitude.

The ratio R = (d σ /d t )( γ d → ( π 0 n)p)/(d σ /d t )( γ d → ( π 0 p)n), was measured at the Deutsches Elektronen-Synchrotron DESY, Hamburg at a mean photon energy of 4.0 GeV in the four-momentum transfer range between t = − 0.2 (GeV/ c ) 2 and t = − 1.2 (GeV/ c ) 2 in steps of approximately 0.08 (GeV/ c ) 2 . The ratio R is less than 1 up to t = − 0.9 (GeV/ c ) 2 and shows a broad minimum around t = − 0.6 (GeV/ c ) 2 . Corrections for nuclear effects in the deuterium were not applied but are shown to be small.

The differential cross sections for the γ + n → π O + n reaction have been measured at the photon energies of 500–900 MeV. The ratios, R oo = [ d δ d Ω(γ n → π o n ) ] [ d δ d Ω(γ p → π o p ) ] , have been obtained at the c.m. pion angles of 60 O , 90 O , 105 O , 120 O , and 140 O .
