Abstract
The photoneutron cross section for 13C was measured in the tagged photon energy range Eγ = 17-70 MeV. Substantial forward to backward asymmetry was observed above the giant dipole resonance region. The observed asymmetries were analyzed by the direct and semi-direct model, assuming two isovector E2 resonances, which locate at Ex = 30:9 ± 1:5 MeV with Γ = 8 ± 6 MeV and Ex = 43:2 ± 1:8 MeV with Γ = 13 ± 6 MeV. They are identified as the T< and T> isospin components of the isovector quadrupole strengths, which exhaust most of the sum rule.
