Measurement of the transverse target and beam-target asymmetries in η meson photoproduction at MAMI.
نویسندگان
چکیده
We present new data for the transverse target asymmetry T and the very first data for the beam-target asymmetry F in the γ[over →]p[over →]→ηp reaction up to a center-of-mass energy of W=1.9 GeV. The data were obtained with the Crystal-Ball/TAPS detector setup at the Glasgow tagged photon facility of the Mainz Microtron MAMI. All existing model predictions fail to reproduce the new data indicating a significant impact on our understanding of the underlying dynamics of η meson photoproduction. The peculiar nodal structure observed in existing T data close to threshold is not confirmed.

Exclusive measurement of coherent η photoproduction from the deuteron
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 suppress...
متن کاملMeasurement of the spin asymmetry in the photoproduction of pairs of high- p(T) hadrons at HERMES
We present a measurement of the longitudinal spin asymmetry A(||) in photoproduction of pairs of hadrons with high transverse momentum p(T). Data were accumulated by the HERMES experiment using a 27.5 GeV polarized positron beam and a polarized hydrogen target internal to the HERA storage ring. For h(+)h(-) pairs with p(h(1))(T)>1.5 GeV/c and p(h(2))(T)>1.0 GeV/c, the measured asymmetry is A(||...
متن کامل2 00 5 A luminosity monitor for the A 4 parity violation experiment at MAMI
A water Cherenkov luminosity monitor system with associated electronics has been developed for the A4 parity violation experiment at MAMI. The detector system measures the luminosity of the hydrogen target hit by the MAMI electron beam and monitors the stability of the liquid hydrogen target. Both is required for the precise study of the count rate asymmetries in the scattering of longitudinall...
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.
متن کاملMeson photoproduction in the first and second resonance region
The study of baryon resonances via meson photoproduction reactions on the free proton and on nucleons in the nuclear medium is discussed. Special emphasis is laid on the production of neutral mesons which due to the suppression of nonresonant backgrounds are particularly well suited for the study of excited states of the nucleon. Experiments carried out during the last ten years with the TAPSde...
