Photoproduction of η-mesons from light nuclei
نویسنده
چکیده
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 momenta. The results for the deuteron and He are summarized and first preliminary results for He are presented. PACS numbers: 13.60.Le, 25.20.Lj

Photoproduction 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 کاملRelativistic Calculations for Incoherent Photoproduction of η Mesons
We develop a relativistic model for incoherent η-photoproduction on nuclei. The elementary process is described using an effective Lagrangian containing photons, nucleons, the S11(1535) and D13(1520) nucleon resonances, and ρ, ω, and η mesons. The nucleon and η wavefunctions are obtained from relativistic wave equations. Final-state interactions of the outgoing particles are included via optica...
متن کاملPhotoproduction of η mesons off neutrons from a deuteron target
A formalism is developed for the partial wave analysis of data on meson photoproduction off deuterons and applied to photoproduction of η and π 0 mesons. Different interpretations of a dip-bump structure of the η photoproduction cross section in the 1670 MeV region are presented and discussed. Helicity amplitudes for two low-mass S11 states are determined.

The coherent photoproduction of η-mesons on spin-zero nuclei is studied in a relativistic, non-local model, which we have previously applied to the coherent photoproduction of pions. We find that different off-shell extrapolations of the elementary production operator lead to large effects in the cross section. We also show that the almost complete suppression of the N (1535) seen in earlier st...
