Abstract

The cross section for the ${}^{15}N$ (γ,2n) reaction has been studied from 20 to 28 MeV. The cross section remains near zero for 3 MeV above threshold, then rises sharply at about 24 MeV, to a maximum value of 1.7 mb. The shape is explained in terms of the density of $T_{>}$ states in ${}^{14}N$ at the relevant excitation energy.
