Exclusive measurement of coherent η photoproduction from the deuteron
نویسندگان
چکیده
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 suppression of background events so that a very clean identification of coherent η-photoproduction was achieved. The resulting cross sections agree with previous experimental results except for angles around 90 in the γd cm system where they are smaller. They are compared to various model calculations.

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 کاملInfluence of final state interaction on incoherent η - photoproduction on the deuteron near threshold ∗
Incoherent η-photoproduction on the deuteron is studied for photon energies from threshold up to 720 MeV. The elementary γN → ηN amplitude is constructed in the frame of a conventional isobar model. Effects of final state interaction are investigated and their role in the cross section as well as in polarization observables is found to be important. Inclusion of such effects leads to a satisfac...
متن کاملThree - Body Analysis of Incoherent Photoproduction of η Mesons on the Deuteron near Threshold ∗
The importance of three-body dynamics in the ηnp system in elastic and inelastic η-deuteron scattering as well as coherent and incoherent η photo-production on the deuteron in the energy region from threshold up to 30 MeV above has been investigated. It is shown that a restriction to first order rescat-tering with respect to the N N-and ηN-final state interactions, i.e., restriction to rescatte...
متن کاملPhotoproduction of η ′ - mesons off the deuteron
Quasi-free photoproduction of η′-mesons off nucleons bound in the deuteron has been measured with the combined Crystal Barrel TAPS detector. The experiment was done at a tagged photon beam of the ELSA electron accelerator in Bonn for incident photon energies from the production threshold up to 2.5GeV. The η′-mesons have been detected in coincidence with recoil protons and recoil neutrons. The q...
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...
