Measurement and Analysis of the Reaction $\pi^- p \to \rho^0 n$ on a Polarized Target

The reaction π − p→ π + π − n has been measured in a high-statistics experiment on a transversely polarized proton target at 17.2 GeV, and unexpectedly large nucleon polarization effects have been observed. Combining the results of this experiment with a measurement on a hydrogen target allows a model-independent partial-wave analysis in terms of the “nucleon transversity” amplitudes. Unique or at most twofold ambiguous solutions are obtained. In particular we find a high lower limit ( ⪆30% ) of the spin non-flip unnatural exchange amplitudes at low | t |. These amplitudes, interpreted as being due to the exchange of an object with the quantum numbers of the A 1 , have been assumed to be absent in previous analyses. In checking the consequences of this finding on the old results, we test the validity of the rank-two assumotions for the density matrix. We find a small but significant deviation, which shows the need for a new phase-shift analysis including the A 1 exchange contribution.

We have studied backward meson and baryon production in π−p→nπ+π− at 8 GeV/c using a streamer chamber triggered by the detection of the interaction of the neutron in thick-plate optical spark chambers. Our data sample of 866 events is dominated by the quasi-two-body final states Δ−(1232)π+, nρ0, and nf0. We study the differential and total backward cross sections for these states and the decay angular distributions of the resonances. The results for the Δ− and ρ0 indicate that both nucleon and Δ exchange in the u channel are important in their production, while f0 production is, as expected, consistent with nucleon exchange.

An Investigation of rho Meson Production in pi p Interactions at 3.9-GeV/c

Haber, B. ; Hodous, M.F. ; Hulsizer, R.I. ; et al.

Inspire Record 819 DOI 10.17182/hepdata.25008

We have investigated the ρ-meson production mechanism in the three reactions π±p→ρ±p and π−p→ρ0n at 3.9 GeV/c (s=8.2 GeV2) using the prism-plot technique. Differential cross sections at all momentum transfers are presented. A significant backward peak has been found in all three reactions. The differential cross sections for these backward peaks are given and are compared with the equivalent pion elastic and charge-exchange cross sections in the backward direction. Using a linear combination of the three differential cross sections we have isolated the I=0 exchange contribution in the forward direction. This differential cross section has a zero at −t=0.45 (GeV/c)2 and is fitted by the dual absorptive model of Harari with an interaction radius of ∼ 1.2 F. The total I=0 cross section is calculated and compared with similarly determined cross sections at higher momenta. An analysis of the properties of the other possible spin-parity exchanges is also presented.
