Experimental SetUp Method Method of Superthin Internal Target conception – in BINP first use – in BINP: VEP–1, VEPP–2, VEPP–3 later – in many Laboratories: electron storage rings: NIKHEF, Bates, HERA . . . ion rings: IUCF, CELCIUS, COSY . . . allows to increase substantially the efficiency of utilization of target material and beam particles, thus making feasible measurements: with exotic targets: polarized ones; of rare-isotopes, etc. with exotic beams: positrons, antiprotons, ions of isotopes etc. with slow or heavy or strong-ionizing reaction products. review of the method: S.G.

Photodisintegration Introduction two-body deuteron photodisintegration Heavy hydrogen was chosen as the element first to be examined, because the diplon is the simplest of all nuclear systems and its properties are as important in nuclear theory as the hydrogen is in atomic theory.
