Cross-section asymmetry in two-particle photodisintegration of helium-3 by linearly polarized protons

We report the results of a study in a linearly polarized photon beam of the asymmetry of the cross sections for the reaction ..gamma../sup 3/He..-->..pd in the energy interval 90--350 MeV and the range of angles 60--135/sup 0/ c.m.s. The experimental data are compared with theoretical calculations made in the momentum representation.
