We have measured the asymmetry parameter Σ=(σ∥−σ⊥)(σ∥+σ⊥) for the photoproduction of ϕ mesons with photons polarized parallel and perpendicular to the plane of decay for the reaction γp→ϕp→K+K−p. We find Σ=0.985±0.12 at a photon energy of 8.14 GeV and |t| of 0.2 (GeVc)2, consistent with pure diffraction production, or pure naturalparity Regge exchange.

We have measured the cross sections at 90° c.m. for π± and π0 photoproduction with polarized photons. The photon energies ranged from 0.8 to 2.2 GeV. We compare the resonant "bumps" in the cross section with theoretical models. The measured asymmetry agrees with a quark-model calculation though the predicted cross sections are low.

Measurements have been made of the polarization of the recoil proton in the process γ p → π o p for photon energies of 850 - 1250 MeV and centre-of-mass angles of 80° - 125°. The results, which are to a typical accuracy of ±0.09, show a marked disagreement with previous phenomenological analyses above 1000 MeV.

We have completed measurements of the differential cross section for γ+p→π0+p, and the asymmetry with polarized photons, for incident photon energies from 4 to 18 GeV and momentum transfers between t=−0.1 and −1.4 (GeV/c)2. The experiment was performed at the Stanford Linear Accelerator Center, using the SLAC 1.6-GeV/c spectrometer to analyze protons recoiling from a hydrogen target. For the cross-section measurements a normal collimated bremsstrahlung beam was used. For the asymmetry measurements the polarized photons were produced by coherent bremsstrahlung from a diamond crystal, and a coincidence was required between the recoil proton and one of the π0 decay photons in a shower counter.

Elastic scattering of linearly polarized photons on protons has been measured between 3.2 and 3.7 GeV for four-momentum transfers ranging from −0.1 to −0.7 (GeV/ c ) 2 . The observed cross section asymmetry in this range is consistent with zero within ±0.05.

We have measured the asymmetry of the cross section for γp→π+n from a polarized target at 5 and 16 GeV. The range of four-momentum transfer was 0.02<~−t<~1.0 GeV2. The π+ mesons were produced in a polarized butanol target and detected with the Stanford Linear Accelerator Center 20−GeVc spectrometer. A sizable asymmetry was found at both 5 and 16 GeV, a typical value being -0.6 near −t=0.3 GeV2. A small amount of data on the asymmetry of other photoproduction processes was also obtained.

The asymmetry A=(dσ⊥−dσ∥)(dσ⊥+dσ∥) of the differential cross section for the reaction γd→π−pp has been studied with linearly polarized photons of 3.0 GeV at squared four-momentum-transfers between 0.15 and 2.0 (GeV/c)2. The asymmetry was found to be positive at −t values below 0.3 (GeV/c)2, dipping to negative values between 0.4 and 0.6 (GeV/c)2, and then rising again to positive values above 0.7 (GeV/c)2.
Axis error includes +- 11/11 contribution.
The reaction γ⊥,∥p→π+n has been studied with linearly polarized photons of energy 3.0 GeV at −t values between 0.15 and 1.2 (GeVc)2. The asymmetry A+=(dσ⊥−dσ∥)(dσ⊥+dσ∥) is found to be positive throughout this four-momentum-transfer range, implying the dominance of natural parity exchange in the t channel. Comparison of dσ⊥(γ⊥p→π+n) and dσ⊥p→π−p) from a previous experiment indicates strong interference between the isoscalar and isovector photon amplitudes for photons polarized perpendicular to the production plane.
