Photoproduction of η-mesons off protons and deuterons
نویسنده
چکیده
An effective field theory with hadrons and photons is constructed, where the hadronic parameters are determined by fitting elastic πN scattering data. The predicted pioninduced η-production on the nucleon agrees well with the data. The hadronic model is then used to describe the final-state interaction in photoinduced processes. We present a consistent description of pion photoproduction in the E+0 -channel and of the total cross sections for photoinduced η-production on the proton as well as on the deuteron. e-mail:[email protected]

Photoproduction 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.
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...

Photo-and electroproduction of η, η ′ mesons on protons are investigated within a relativistic chiral unitary approach based on coupled channels. The s wave potentials for electroproduction and meson-baryon scattering are derived from a chiral effective Lagrangian which includes the η ′ as an explicit degree of freedom and incorporates important features of the underlying QCD Lagrangian such as...
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...
متن کاملPrimakoff effect in η-photoproduction off protons
We analyse data on forward η-meson photoproduction off a proton target and extract the η→γγ decay width utilizing the Primakoff effect. The hadronic amplitude that enters into our analysis is strongly constrained because it is fixed from a global fit to available γp→pη data for differential cross sections and polarizations. We compare our results with present information on the two-photon η-dec...
