The cross-sections σ(Eγ,ϑ ) for the reaction pγ→ n+ have been measured near threshold as a function of photon energy and at four angles. See Table I. These results combined with previously known data, have given a fairly complete and accurate description of σ(Eγ,θ) between the limits 30°≤θ≤180° and 170≤ Eγ 270 MeV. See Table II and Pig. 2. Writing σ(Eγ,θ) = W·a0 + a1 cos θ + a2 cos2 θ× withW= ηωl +(μ/Ei)ξ −1·l + (μ/E f )ω×−1 (see formula (5)) the experimental data indicate that (Table III) a0 is constant up to about Eγ ≃ 260 MeV; and that (Table V) the three ai coefficients analyzed in terms ofS andP waves give a very small spin flippingP-amplitudeK. The presumption that theS amplitudeE 1 ismainly due to the gauge invariance requirement is definitely not consistent with the data (see Table IV). A discussion based on the Kroll and Rudermann theorem leads to the conclusion that this inconsistency may be eliminated if allowance is made for the contribution of fairly large nucleon recoils. However, it turns out that only the changing sign part of these recoils is really large and apparently so up to terms of order higher than μM. The amount of the recoil at threshold is estimated and consequently a value for the pspv interaction constant is derived.

perimental analysis of the process is presented. Theσ(−)/σ(+) ratio has been measured in the photon energy interval (170÷230) MeV and Lab. angles 45°, 75°, 105°, 150°. The results are interpreted on the base of the impulse approximation with the aim of getting information on the processhv+n →π −+p.
