Description

The measurement of the 17O(γ,p)16N reaction from threshold to an excitation energy of 44 MeV is presented. These results have been summed with the previously measured total photoneutron cross section to provide an approximation to the total photoabsorption cross section of 17O. The magnitude of the 17O photoabsorption cross section at the peak of the Giant Dipole Resonance is considerably less than the equivalent value for the photoabsorption cross sections of 16O and 18O. In addition, the integrated total photoabsorption cross section for 17O (up to 40 MeV) exhausts only about 58% of the sum rule; the values for the cases of 16O and 18O are significantly larger than this. The present data along with results from other reaction channels of this nucleus, were used to make spin, parity, and isospin assignments for several states in 17O. 48 refs., 4 tabs., 7 figs
