Photodisintegration is a nuclear reaction in which an atomic nucleus absorbs a high-energy photon (such as a gamma ray) and subsequently breaks apart into two or more lighter nuclei or particles. This process occurs when the energy of the incoming photon exceeds the binding energy that holds the nucleons (protons and neutrons) together within the nucleus.
