Dispersion Relation Analysis of Neutral Pion Photo- and Electroproduction at Threshold using the MAID and SAID solutions
نویسندگان
چکیده
Neutral pion photoand electroproduction at threshold is analyzed in the framework of dispersion relations. For this purpose, we evaluate the real threshold amplitudes in terms of Born contributions and dispersion integrals determined by the imaginary parts of the MAID and SAID multipoles. The results show considerable cancellations between Born terms and resonance contributions. Good agreement with the data is found for photoproduction. While our dispersion analysis suggests considerable discrepancies for electroproduction, the present state of the experimental multipole analysis at finite Q2 does not permit drawing conclusions at this time.

New developments in threshold pion photo- and electroproduction
Photoproduction of neutral and charged pions off nucleons and deuterium has been precisely calculated in baryon chiral perturbation theory. I review the predictions in light of the accurate data that have become available over the last few years. Some progress in the description of neutral pion electroproduction off protons is also discussed.
متن کاملTHRESHOLD TWO–PION PHOTO – AND ELECTROPRODUCTION: More neutrals than expected
We present an exploratory study of two pion photo– and electroproduction off the nu-cleon in the threshold region. To calculate the pertinent amplitudes, we make use of heavy baryon chiral perturbation theory. We show that due to finite chiral loops the production cross section for final states with two neutral pions is considerably enhanced. The experimental implications are briefly discussed.

MAID is a unitary isobar model for a partial wave analysis of pion photoand electroproduction in the resonance region. It is fitted to the world data and can give predictions for multipoles, amplitudes, cross sections and polarization observables in the energy range from pion threshold up to W = 2 GeV and photon virtualities Q < 5 GeV. Using more recent experimental results from Mainz, Bates, B...
متن کاملUnitary Isobar Model - MAID 2007
The unitary isobar model MAID2007 has been developed to analyze the world data of pion photo-and electroproduction. The model contains both a common background and several resonance terms. The background is unitarized according to the K-matrix prescription, and the 13 four-star resonances with masses below 2 GeV are described by appropriately unitarized Breit-Wigner forms. The data have been an...

Model-dependence of the single-pion contribution to the GDH, Baldin, and forward spin-polarizability sum rules is explored, using the most recent SAID multipole analysis. Results from SAID and MAID are compared. We have calculated the GDH, Baldin and forward spin-polarizability (γ 0) sum rules using our most recent analysis of single-pion photoproduc-tion data. This set of integrals is useful i...
