Predictions of striking energy and angular dependence in pp → ( pp ) S − wave π 0 production
نویسنده
چکیده
A phenomenological calculation from threshold to 800 MeV of the initial proton beam energy is presented to describe recent data on the reaction pp → (pp)S−waveπ with a low energy cut on the final state diproton excitation energy. A strong forward dip is obtained in the differential cross section as in the data from COSY at 800 MeV, although the absolute value of the forward cross section is too low. Earlier low energy data from CELSIUS are reasonably well reproduced. In the unexplored energy interval between these two experiments the model predicts a spectacular energy dependence both in the forward direction and in the angle-integrated cross section. PACS: 13.75.Cs, 25.40.Qa

Near-threshold pion production in diproton reactions with polarised beams and target at ANKE-COSY
An extensive experimental study of near-threshold pion production in diproton reactions is underway at the ANKE-COSY spectrometer (Jülich). The programme is aimed at isolating the four-nucleon-pion contact interaction term appearing in the χPT expansions of these processes. This will establish links between pion production and other low energy phenomena within the χPT approach. The first step i...

Do we understand the single-spin asymmetry for π 0 inclusive production in pp collisions? Abstract The cross section data for π 0 inclusive production in pp collisions is considered in a rather broad kinematic region in energy √ s, Feynman variable x F and transverse momentum p T. The analysis of these data is done in the per-turbative QCD framework at the next-to-leading order. We find that th...

The analyzing power of pp → ppπ 0 reaction has been measured at the beam energy of 390 MeV. The missing mass technique of final protons has been applied to identify the π 0 production event. The dependences of the analyzing power on the pion emission-angle and the relative momentum of the protons have been obtained. The angular dependence could be decomposed by the Legendre polynomial and the r...

متن کاملProduction of η Mesons Near Threshold
It is argued that the strong energy dependence of the p d → 3Heη cross section near threshold is due to a final state interaction between the η meson and the 3He nucleus. The large scattering length that this implies is in accord with optical potential predictions and is evidence for a nearby virtual ‘‘bound’’ state in the η3He system. This model suggests that sharp structures should also be se...
