Double Pion Photoproduction on the Nucleon: Study of the Isospin Channels
نویسنده
چکیده
A model for the γp → π+π−p reaction developed earlier is extended to account for all isospin channels. The model includes N , ∆(1232), N∗(1440) and N∗(1520) as intermediate baryonic states and the ρ-meson as an intermediate 2π resonance. Although many terms contribute to the cross section, some channels exhibit particular sensitivity to certain mechanisms of resonance excitation or decay and the reactions provide novel information on such mechanisms. In particular the γN → N∗(1520) → ∆π process affects all the channels and is a key ingredient in the interpretation of the data. Comparison is made with all available data and the agreement is good in some channels. The remaining discrepancies in some other channels are discussed.

The Threshold Pion-Photoproduction Of Nucleons In The Chiral Quark Model
In this paper, we show that the low energy theorem (LET) of the threshold pion-photoproduction can be fully recovered in the quark model. An essential result of this investigation is that the quark-pion operators are obtained from the effective chiral Lagrangian, and the low energy theorem does not require the constraints on the internal structures of the nucleon. The pseudoscalar quark-pion co...

متن کاملPion photoproduction on the nucleon in the quark model
We present a detailed quark-model study of pion photoproduction within the effective Lagrangian approach. Cross sections and single-polarization observables are investigated for the four charge channels, γp → π+n, γn → π−p, γp → π0p, and γn → π0n. Leaving the πN∆ coupling strength to be a free parameter, we obtain a reasonably consistent description of these four channels from threshold to the ...
متن کاملStudy of Nucleon Resonances with Double Polarization Observables of Pion Photoproduction
The role of the nucleon resonances in the double polarization observables of pion photoproduction is investigated by using the resonance parameters predicted by Capstick and Roberts. As an example, we show that the not-welldetermined two-star resonance N−3/2(1960) can be examined by performing experiments on beam-recoil polarization at large angles.
متن کاملIsospin-breaking corrections to the pion–nucleon scattering lengths
We analyze isospin breaking through quark mass differences and virtual photons in the pion– nucleon scattering lengths in all physical channels in the framework of covariant baryon chiral perturbation theory. The so-called triangle relation is found to be violated by about 1.5 %. We encounter a substantial isospin-breaking correction to neutral-pion–nucleon scattering beyond Weinberg’s predicti...
