THRESHOLD TWO–PION PHOTO – AND ELECTROPRODUCTION: More neutrals than expected
نویسندگان
چکیده
We present an exploratory study of two pion photo– and electroproduction off the nu-cleon in the threshold region. To calculate the pertinent amplitudes, we make use of heavy baryon chiral perturbation theory. We show that due to finite chiral loops the production cross section for final states with two neutral pions is considerably enhanced. The experimental implications are briefly discussed.

New developments in threshold pion photo- and electroproduction
Photoproduction of neutral and charged pions off nucleons and deuterium has been precisely calculated in baryon chiral perturbation theory. I review the predictions in light of the accurate data that have become available over the last few years. Some progress in the description of neutral pion electroproduction off protons is also discussed.
متن کاملDispersion Relation Analysis of Neutral Pion Photo- and Electroproduction at Threshold using the MAID and SAID solutions
Neutral pion photoand electroproduction at threshold is analyzed in the framework of dispersion relations. For this purpose, we evaluate the real threshold amplitudes in terms of Born contributions and dispersion integrals determined by the imaginary parts of the MAID and SAID multipoles. The results show considerable cancellations between Born terms and resonance contributions. Good agreement ...
متن کاملPion photo- and electroproduction and the partially conserved axial current
The relevance of the axial current for pion production processes off the nucleon with real or virtual photons is revisited. Employing the hypothesis of a partially conserved axial current (PCAC), it is shown that, when all of the relevant contributions are taken into account, PCAC does not provide any additional constraint for threshold production processes that goes beyond the Goldberger-Treim...

Pion photo-and electroproduction has been studied at threshold and in the resonance region below W < 2 GeV. At threshold π 0 production can be very well explained within a dynamical model derived from an effective chiral Lagrangian. The final state interaction is nearly saturated by single charge exchange rescattering. In the resonance region new electroproduction data at Q 2 = 1 GeV 2 has been...
متن کاملPhoto-and Electroproduction at Threshold within a Dynamical Model
We show that, within a meson-exchange dynamical model describing most of the existing pion electromagnetic production data up to the second resonance region, one is also able to obtain a good agreement with the π0 photoand electroproduction data near threshold. The potentials used in the model are derived from an effective chiral Lagrangian. The only sizable discrepancy between our results and ...
