Incoherent neutral pion photoproduction on 12C.
نویسندگان
چکیده
We present the first detailed measurement of incoherent photoproduction of neutral pions to a discrete state of a residual nucleus. The 12C(gamma,pi(0))(12)C*(4.4 MeV) reaction has been studied with the Glasgow photon tagger at MAMI employing a new technique which uses the large solid angle Crystal Ball detector both as a pi(0) spectrometer and to detect decay photons from the excited residual nucleus. The technique has potential applications to a broad range of future nuclear measurements with the Crystal Ball and similar detector systems elsewhere. Such data are sensitive to the propagation of the Delta in the nuclear medium and will give the first information on matter transition form factors from measurements with an electromagnetic probe. The incoherent cross sections are compared to two theoretical predictions including a Delta-hole model.

Incoherent photoproduction of pions on the deuteron in the first resonance region is investigated with special emphasis on single-spin asymmetries. For the elementary pion production operator an effective Lagrangian model which includes the standard pseudovector Born terms and a resonance contribution from the ∆(1232)-excitation is used. Single-spin asymmetries, both for charged and neutral pio...
متن کاملCoherent two pion photoproduction on C
We develop the formalism for coherent two pion photoproduction in nuclei and perform actual calculations of cross sections for π−π+ and π0π0 photoproduction on 12C. We find that due to the isospin symmetry the cross section for π0π0 production is very small and has a maximum when the pions propagate together. However, the kinematical region where the energies and polar angles of the two π0 meso...
متن کاملPhotoproduction of neutral pions
The pion and nucleon mass differences generate a very pronounced cusp in the photoproduction reaction of a single neutral pion on the proton. A nonrelativistic effective field theory to describe this reaction is constructed. The approach is rigorous in the sense that it is an effective field theory with a consistent power counting scheme. Expressions for the Sand P-wave multipole amplitudes at ...
