Trinucleon Photo Reactions with {Delta}-Isobar Excitation: Radiative Nucleon-Deuteron Capture and Two-Body Photo Disintegration of the Three-Nucleon Bound State

Radiative nucleon-deuteron capture and photo disintegration of the three-nucleo n bound state with two-body final states are described. The description uses nucleon degrees of freedom extended to include the excitation of a single nucleon to a \diso. The baryonic interaction and the electromagnetic cu rrent couple nucleonic states and states with a \diso. Exact solutions of three-p article scattering equations are employed for the initial or final states of the reactions. The current has one-baryon and two-baryon contributions. The role of t he \diso in the description of the considered photo reactions is discussed and fo und to be moderate. The spin observables $A_{yy}$ and $T_{20}$ at $90^{\circ}$ la b scattering angle can be calculated model-independently from the $E1$ Siegert te rm in the long-wavelength limit.
