Study of η and η' Photoproduction at MAMI.

چکیده
The reactions γp→ηp and γp→η^{'}p are measured from their thresholds up to the center-of-mass energy W=1.96 GeV with the tagged-photon facilities at the Mainz Microtron, MAMI. Differential cross sections are obtained with unprecedented statistical accuracy, providing fine energy binning and full production-angle coverage. A strong cusp is observed in the total cross section for η photoproduction at the energies in the vicinity of the η^{'} threshold, W=1896 MeV (E_{γ}=1447 MeV). Within the framework of a revised ηMAID isobar model, the cusp, in connection with a steep rise of the η^{'} total cross section from its threshold, can only be explained by a strong coupling of the poorly known N(1895)1/2^{-} state to both ηp and η^{'}p. Including the new high-accuracy results in the ηMAID fit to available η and η^{'} photoproduction data allows the determination of the N(1895)1/2^{-} properties.

Photoproduction of η-mesons from light nuclei
In a series of experiments coherent and quasifree η-photoproduction from light nuclei (He, He, H) was investigated with the TAPS-detector at the Mainz MAMI-accelerator. The experiments were motivated by two different subjects: the determination of the isospin structure of the electromagnetic excitation of the S11(1535) resonance and the study of the η-nucleon and η-nucleus interaction at small ...
متن کاملExclusive measurement of coherent η photoproduction from the deuteron
Coherent photoproduction of η mesons from the deuteron has been measured from threshold up to Eγ ≈ 750 MeV using the photon spectrometer TAPS at the tagged photon facility at the Mainz microtron MAMI. For the first time, differential coherent cross sections have been deduced from the coincident detection of the η meson and the recoil deuteron. A missing energy analysis was used for the suppress...
متن کاملMeson photoproduction in the first and second resonance region
The study of baryon resonances via meson photoproduction reactions on the free proton and on nucleons in the nuclear medium is discussed. Special emphasis is laid on the production of neutral mesons which due to the suppression of nonresonant backgrounds are particularly well suited for the study of excited states of the nucleon. Experiments carried out during the last ten years with the TAPSde...
متن کاملPhotoproduction of mesons from nuclei - In-medium properties of hadrons
Recent experimental results for the in-medium properties of hadrons obtained with photoproduction of mesons from nuclei are discussed. The experiments were done with the TAPS detector at the tagged photon beam of the MAMI accelerator in Mainz. Measured were the final states πoX, ηX, 2πoX, and πoπ±X for C, Ca, Nb, and Pb up to the second resonance region. The results were used for an investigati...
متن کاملPhotoproduction of Eta and Etaprime Mesons on the Nucleon
The isobar models η-MAID and η-MAID have been used to analyze new data on quasifree η photoproduction on the deuteron from Bonn and recent η data on the proton from Jlab. In η photoproduction on the neutron a bump around W = 1700 MeV was observed which could possibly arise from a narrow P11 state that is discussed as a nonstrange member of the Θ antidecuplett. In η photoproduction on the proton...
