The total cross section of γ rays in hydrogen resulting in hadron production, σT, has been measured over the energy range 265-4215 MeV. A tagging system with narrow energy bins was employed. Structure in the resonance region followed by a steady fall with energy has been observed and the results are analyzed. The forward amplitude of γ-proton scattering is evaluated, and its behavior in the Argand diagram studied as a function of energy. The relationships of the measurements to Regge-pole theory and the vector-dominance model are detailed.

SPIN AVERAGED FORWARD COMPTON SCATTERING AMPLITUDE. IM(AMP) WAS CALCULATED VIA THE OPTICAL THEOREM FROM A SMOOTH FIT TO THE DATA, AND USED IN THE DISPERSION RELATION TO CALCULATE RE(AMP). AT THRESHOLD THE THOMSON AMPLITUDE IS -3.0 MUB*GEV.
The total hadronic cross section, σ T has been measured for tagged γ -rays, using electron beams in the GeV range, and narrow energy bins. Preliminary data are given covering the γ -energy region 275 MeV-1850 MeV, where interesting structure characteristics are observed.
