Abstract
The beam-spin asymmetry, , for the reaction γ d → pn has been measured using the CEBAF Large
Acceptance Spectrometer (CLAS) at the Thomas Jefferson National Accelerator Facility (JLab) for six
photon-energy bins, between 1.1 and 2.3 GeV, and proton angles in the center-of-mass frame, θc.m., between
25◦ and 160◦. These are the first measurements of beam-spin asymmetries at θc.m. = 90◦ for photon-beam
energies above 1.6 GeV, and the first measurements for angles other than θc.m. = 90◦. The angular and energy
dependence of is expected to aid in the development of QCD-based models to understand the mechanisms of
deuteron photodisintegration in the transition region between hadronic and partonic degrees of freedom, where
both effective field theories and perturbative QCD cannot make reliable predictions.
