The total cross section for radiative neutron-proton capture has been measured at 37, 42, 47, 52, 63 and 73 MeV. The inverse process, the photodisintegration of the deuteron, was measured in the same energy range by different authors with contradictory results, some of them in large disagreement with all theoretical predictions of the cross section. The submitted data are in agreement with theory and the results of a recent total absorption experiment.
