    The TAGX spec t romete r was p laced in the tagged photon beam l ine a t the 1 .3 GeVelec t ron sy nchro t ron of the In s t i tu te for Nuc lear S tudy ( INS) , Unive r s i ty of Tokyo.

    The s imi la r i ty o f the E~ dependence o f the 2N(pn) cross sec tion and tha t o f the d eu te roncross sect ion over such a wide E~ range is remarkable for both 3He and 4He.

    T h e 2N(pn) cross sect ion for 3He can be expressed in terms of the cross sect ion for thespin-s inglet (1S0) and spin-t r ip let (3S1) pairs taking in to account the spin-isospin weightsa S ~
