The study of two body deuteron photo-disintegration is ideal for investigating the transition region from meson exchange to the Quantum Chromo Dynamics (QCD) regime because of its simplicity and amenability to calculation. In the past years, the theoretical efforts have been focused in two different directions: extending at higher energies the models based on meson exchange, and improving the models inspired by QCD principles to extrapolate their predictions at lower energies, in order to find out the approach that best describes the experimental data and in which energy region the transition between the two descriptions takes place.
