The total cross section for the γnpπ-π0 reaction has been measured over the photon energy range 450–800 MeV at the 855 MeV MAMI Microtron in Mainz with the large acceptance detector DAPHNE and using a deuterium target. As expected, this reaction has a very similar cross section to the γpnπ+π0 channel and its amplitude is strongly underestimated by the existing double pion photoproduction models.
