The asymmetry of the cross sections for the photoproduction of π + mesons on polarized protons γ + p↑ → π + + n has been studied in the four-momentum transfer range 0.1 ⩽ | t | ⩽ 1.25 (GeV/ c ) 2 for photon energies of 2.5, 3.4 and 5.0 GeV. The measurements were carried out on a polarized butanol target. Both particles in the final state were detected: the pion by a magnetic spectrometer, the recoil nucleon in a scintillation counter matrix. The asymmetry was found to be negative with values around −0.4.

Single π + production on protons by linearly polarized photons of 2.5 to 5 GeV was measured at squared four momentum transfers t between −0.01 and −0.6 (GeV/ c ) 2 . The results show that the differential cross section d σ ⊥ d t with the electric vector of the photon perpendicular to the reaction plane is much larger than d σ ‖ d t with the electric vector parallel to the reaction plane. The predictions of Regge models and of the vector meson dominance model are briefly discussed.
