Abstract
We combine a simulation program for Laser Compton Scattering (LCS) with another for deuteron photodisintegration to simulate an experiment to search for parity violation in the d ( γ → , n ) p reaction using a LCS source. We extract the differential cross-section for d ( γ → , n ) p near threshold from fits to all relevant available d ( γ → , n ) p experimental data. We use this information along with theoretical estimates of parity violation in this reaction to calculate neutron yields and PV asymmetries in d ( γ → , n ) p near threshold using the weight method. This work lays a foundation for us to study the feasibility of this experiment, the optimization of experimental conditions, and systematic effects and false asymmetries in detail.
