Neutron angular distribution in (γ, n) reactions with linearly polarized γ-ray beam generated by laser Compton scattering

In 1957, Agodi predicted that the neutron angular distribution in (γ, n) reactions with a 100% linearly polarized γ-ray beam for dipole excitation should be anisotropic and universally described by the simple function of a+b⋅cos⁡(2ϕ) at the polar angle θ=90°, where ϕ is the azimuthal angle. However,...
