M1 and E1 transition cross sections in D(y→,n) reactions near reaction threshold

M1 and E1 transition cross sections in the D(y→, n) reaction were separately determined by measuring the analyzing power for emitted neutrons with linearly‐polarized γ rays at four energies between 2.26 MeV and 3.70 MeV near reaction threshold at 2.224 MeV. We compared the experimental result with the JENDL evaluated data.
