Vector Meson Photoproduction in the Quark Model
نویسنده
چکیده
We present a quark model study of the ω meson photoproduction near threshold. With a limited number of parameters, all the data in history are reproduced. The roles played by the sand u-channel processes (resonance excitations and nucleon pole terms), as well as the t-channel natural (Pomeron) and unnatural parity (pion) exchanges are clarified. This approach provides a framework for systematic study of vector meson photoproduction near threshold.

Vector Meson Photoproduction with an Effective Lagrangian in the Quark Model I: Formalism
A quark model approach to the photoproduction of vector mesons off nucleons is proposed. Its starting point is an effective Lagrangian of the interaction between the vector meson and the quarks inside the baryon. This paper develops the formalism and highlights the dynamical roles of s-channel resonances. It is demonstrated that the proposed approach is ideal to support searching for the missin...

An unified approach for vector meson photoproduction is presented in the constituent quark model. The sand u-channel resonance contributions are generated using an effective quark vector-meson Lagrangian. In addition, taking into account π and σ t-channel exchanges for diffractive production, the available total and differential cross section data for ω, ρ, ρ, and ρ− photoproduction can be well...
متن کاملProton Compton Scattering and Photoproduction of Vector Mesons
Proton Compton scattering and photoproduction of vector mesons at high energies are studied in terms of the quark model. It is shown that under the vector meson dominance hypothesis the quark model gives the rP total hadronic cross section in good agreement with the experimental data. The real-to-imaginary ratio of forward proton Compton scattering is related to the total cross sections and the...
متن کاملVector Meson Photoproduction with an Effective Lagrangian in the Quark Model II: ω Photoproduction
An investigation of γp → ωp is presented in a constituent quark model approach. The sparse data in the large t region where the resonances dominate is well described within the model, while the diffractive behavior in the small t region requires an additional t-channel exchange. Taking into account the t-channel π exchange, we find a good overall agreement with the available data with only 3 fr...
متن کاملDiffractive Vector Meson Photoproduction from Dual String Theory
We study diffractive vector meson photoproduction using string theory via AdS/CFT. The large s behavior of the cross sections for the scattering of the vector meson V on a proton is dominated by the soft Pomeron, σV ∼ s2ǫ−2α′P/B, where from the string theory model of [9], ǫ is approximately 1/7 below 10 GeV, and 1/11 for higher, but still sub-Froissart, energies. This is due to the production o...
