[en] The cross section for the reaction ²H(γ,p)n has been measured at laboratory photon energies E_γ = 133-158 MeV and c.m. angles between 30⁰ and 150⁰. The reaction was induced by a tagged bremsstrahlung photon beam incident on a liquid deuterium target. The uncertainty in the absolute cross sections is ≤ 5%. There is now reasonable agreement between recent measurements in this energy region and the overall data set now defines the cross section sufficiently well to provide a test of current models of the reaction.
