The O-16(gamma,p) reaction at E-gamma=60 and 72-MeV

Angular distributions within the range 25°-125° are presented for the 160(gamma,p) reaction populating low-lying states in 15N at E_gamma = 60 and 72 MeV. A comparison of the data with self-consistent Hartree-Fock RPA calculations shows the importance of meson-exchange currents in the photon-absorption process.
