Abstract

The work presented in this thesis describes an experimental study of the 12C(gamma,pn) and the 12C(gamma,pp) reactions using tagged photons in the energy range of 120MeV to 400MeV. The experiment was carried out using the MAMI-B c.w. electron accelerator at the Institut fur Kernphysik, Mainz, Germany. Bremsstrahlung photons were produced on a thin nickel foil and are tagged by momentum analysing the recoiling electrons using the Glasgow tagging spectrometer. The Tagger tags photons with an energy resolution of 2MeV and a photon flux of ~10e7s-1. A plastic scintillator hodoscope PIP was used to detect the protons in both reaction channels. It was set in three positions covering polar angles from 22.7
