FORWARD PHOTOPRODUCTION OF VECTOR MESONS FROM HYDROGEN AT ENERGIES FROM 6.5 GeV TO 17.8 GeV*
نویسنده
چکیده
We report measurements of the differential cross sections of P” and $ meson photoproduction on hydrogen for a range of fourmomentum transfer squared, t , from -0. 2(GeV/c)2 to -0. 9(GeV/c)2 and a range of incident photon energies from 6.5 GeV to 17.8 GeV. We find that differential cross sections obtained for p” production are in good agreement with the vector dominance model. * Work supported by the U. S.

Exclusive Leptoproduction of ρ 0 Mesons from Hydrogen at Intermediate Virtual Photon Energies
Measurements of the cross section for exclusive virtual-photoproduction of ρ mesons from hydrogen are reported. The data were collected by the HERMES experiment using 27.5 GeV positrons incident on a hydrogen gas target in the HERA storage ring. The invariant mass W of the photon-nucleon system ranges from 4.0 to 6.0 GeV, while the negative squared four-momentum Q of the virtual photon varies f...
متن کاملDiffractive Vector Meson Photoproduction from Dual String Theory
We study diffractive vector meson photoproduction using string theory via AdS/CFT. The large s behavior of the cross sections for the scattering of the vector meson V on a proton is dominated by the soft Pomeron, σV ∼ s2ǫ−2α′P/B, where from the string theory model of [9], ǫ is approximately 1/7 below 10 GeV, and 1/11 for higher, but still sub-Froissart, energies. This is due to the production o...
متن کاملRegge pole model for all vector meson exclusive photoproduction by real and virtual photons
A model based on a dipole Pomeron framework for vector meson exclusive photoproduction by real and virtual photons shows very good agreement with the experimental data. The model does not violate unitarity constrains and describes in a universal manner all the available data for ρ, ω, ϕ, J/ψ and Υ vector meson photoproduction in the region of energies 1.7 ≤ W ≤ 250 GeV and photon virtualities 0...

Exclusive photoproduction of all vector mesons by real and virtual photons is considered in the Soft Dipole Pomeron model. It is emphasized that being the Pomeron in this model a double Regge pole with intercept equal to one, we are led to rising cross-sections but the unitarity bounds are not violated. It is shown that all available data for ρ, ω, ϕ, J/ψ and Υ in the region of energies 1.7 ≤ W...
متن کاملPhotoproduction of Mesons in Nuclei at Gev Energies *
In a transport model that combines initial state interactions of the photon with final state interactions of the produced particles we present a calculation of inclusive photoproduction of mesons in nuclei in the energy range from 1 to 7 GeV. We give predictions for the photoproduction cross sections of pions, etas, kaons, antikaons, and π + π − invariant mass spectra in 12 C and 208 Pb. The ef...
