Angular distributions of the target symmetry for the reaction γ + p → π 0 + p have been measured at the Bonn 2.5 GeV Electron Synchrotron at pion c.m. angles between 13° and 63° and photon energies of 1.0 and 1.1 GeV. The π 0 mesons were detected by their two decay photons with total absorption lead-glass Čerenkov counters. Butanol was used as target material in a continuous flow 3 He cryostat operating at 0.5 K and 25 kG. The π 0 counting rate from free protons in the butanol target was derived from the measurements of the differential cross section on hydrogen. The data are compared with data of other laboratories and the results of two recent partial-wave analyses.

The ratio of π° photoproductions from neutrons and protons in deuterium in the energy range of 700 to 1100 mev.

Chang, Tseng-Hsu ; Walker, Robert Lee ;

CIT-12, 1962.

Inspire Record 44258 DOI 10.17182/hepdata.37218

The ratio of the cross sections for photoproduction of neutral pions from neutrons to that from protons has been obtained at average photon energies of 750, 875, and 1050 mev at a pion CM angle of 60° and at average photon energies of 875 and 1050 mev at a pion CM angle of 90°. The experimental technique required simultaneous detection of both the pions and the nucleons. Pions were detected by three scintillation counters. Lead plates of 2.4 radiation lengths and 1.2 radiation lengths were placed in front of the second and third counters. Neutral pions were identified by the absence of output in the first counter and the large outputs in the second and third counters. Nucleons were detected in two scintillation counters. The second of the two counters is 11” thick and has approximately 20% efficiency of detecting neutrons. Neutrons were identified by the absence of output in the first counter. The energy of the incident photons was determined by synchrotron subtraction. Since the statistical accuracy of synchrotron subtraction is poor, a system of three fast coincidence circuits was used as a time-of-flight instrument to reduce the number of events initiated by low energy photons. The statistical errors assigned to the ratio range between 15-30%. The results of this experiment agree with the results of Bingham within statistical errors, but show a general tendency for the σ^(no)/ σ^o ratio to lower. The ratio of σ^(no)/ σ^o obtained in this experiment ranges between 0.4 and 0.8. The cross sections for neutral pion photoproduction from neutrons are derived from the σ^(no)/ σ^o ratio and the Caltech data on neutral pion photoproduction from hydrogen.

Photoproduction of $\pi^\circ$'S from protons in the forward direction in the region of the second and third resonances

Talman, Richard Michael ; Tollestrup, Alvin V. ;

CIT-8, 1963.

Inspire Record 44255 DOI 10.17182/hepdata.37170

NOTE: Text or symbols not renderable in plain ASCII are indicated by [...]. Abstract is included in .pdf document. The cross section for photoproduction of neutral pions from protons has been measured at energies near 750, 915 and 1150 Mev and over most of the forward-going [...] C.M. hemisphere. The experimental technique consisted of detecting both of the [...] decay photons with lead glass total absorption counters and, when convenient, the recoil proton with a single scintillation counter. The method is subject to rather large systematic errors but, within these, our results are consistent with other experiments wherever there are overlapping points. Our data has the striking feature that the cross section is very small at [...] in the region of the second and third pion nucleon resonances. Also, although the data is not inconsistent with a simple first, second and third resonance model, it appears likely that above the third resonance the pole process consisting of the exchange of a single vector meson is becoming important or even dominant. The evidence at this time mildly suggests that this behaviour is largely due to [...] mesons and under that hypothesis we are able to estimate some [...] meson coupling constants. For example, using a prescription of Gell-Mann and Zachariasen, we estimate the partial width for the decay [...] to be 240 Kev.

Linearly polarised photon beams at ELSA and measurement of the beam asymmetry in pi^0-photoproduction off the proton

The CBELSA & TAPS collaborations Elsner, D. ; Bantes, B. ; Bartholomy, O. ; et al.

Eur.Phys.J.A 39 (2009) 373-381, 2009.

Inspire Record 799078 DOI 10.17182/hepdata.50479

At the electron accelerator ELSA a linearly polarised tagged photon beam is produced by coherent bremsstrahlung off a diamond crystal. Orientation and energy range of the linear polarisation can be deliberately chosen by accurate positioning of the crystal with a goniometer. The degree of polarisation is determined by the form of the scattered electron spectrum. Good agreement between experiment and expectations on basis of the experimental conditions is obtained. Polarisation degrees of P = 40% are typically achieved at half of the primary electron energy. The determination of P is confirmed by measuring the beam asymmetry, \Sigma, in pi^0 photoproduction and a comparison of the results to independent measurements using laser backscattering.

Single pi0 photoproduction has been studied with the CB-ELSA experiment at Bonn using tagged photon energies between 0.3 and 3.0 GeV. The experimental setup covers a very large solid angle of about 98% of 4 pi. Differential cross sections (d sigma)/(d Omega) have been measured. Complicated structures in the angular distributions indicate a variety of different resonances being produced in the s channel intermediate state gamma p --> N* (Delta*) --> p pi0. A combined analysis including the data presented in this letter along with other data sets reveals contributions from known resonances and evidence for a new resonance N(2070)D15.

Recoil Proton Polarization of Neutral Pion Photoproduction From Proton in the Energy Range Between 400-{MeV} and 1142-{MeV}

Kato, S. ; Miyachi, T. ; Sugano, K. ; et al.

Nucl.Phys.B 168 (1980) 1-16, 1980.

Inspire Record 142131 DOI 10.17182/hepdata.34517

The recoil proton polarization of the reaction γ p → π 0 p was measured at a c.m. angle of 100° for incident photon energies between 451 and 1106 MeV, and at an angle of 130° for energies from 400 to 1142 MeV. One photon, decayed from a π 0 meson, and a recoil proton were detected in coincidence. Two kinds of polarization analyzer were employed. In the range of proton kinetic energy less than 420 MeV and higher than 346 MeV, carbon plates and liquid hydrogen were used for determining the polarization, respectively. The data given by the two polarimeter systems are in good agreement. Results are compared with recent phenomenological analyses. From the comparison between the present data and the polarized target data, the invariant amplitude A 3 can be estimated to be small.

Large-angle cross sections for γd→π0d are systematically measured in the photon energy range between 500 and 1000 MeV. A good fit is obtained by use of a Glauber-model calculation which includes the dibaryon resonances F33(2.26) and G41(2.51), but the fit has an unusual nature in the role of resonance and nonresonance contributions.

The contribution of the process γ +p→p+2 π was separated. The uncertainty of this separation leads to an error of about 4% in the cross section.

Inspire Record 944950 DOI 10.17182/hepdata.26564

Measurements of the differential cross section for the process γ+p→π0+p have been made at eight pion center-of-mass angles in the range 51-135° and for incident photon energies from approximately 600-1200 MeV. The bremsstrahlung photon beam used was obtained from the California Institute of Technology electron synchrotron. Both the recoil proton and one γ ray from the decay of the π0 were detected. The incident photon energy was determined by measuring the laboratory angle and time of flight of the recoil proton. The angular distributions obtained indicate that the third pion-nucleon resonance is predominantly a D(52) resonance excited by a magnetic quadrupole transition. It can also be concluded that any contribution to the π0 photoproduction cross section from a virtual vector-meson exchange process is probably negligible in the region of the second and third pion-nucleon resonances.

The polarization of recoiling protons from the photoproduction of π0 mesons on liquid hydrogen has been measured for primary photon energies between 500 and 1000 MeV over a range of π0 c.m. angles from 55° to 130°. The results show structure not observed previously in experiments of less precision. In particular, the polarization at 90° c.m. is close to zero at a primary photon energy of 900 MeV. Also, a strong dependence of polarization on π0 c.m. angle between 600 and 900 MeV was observed. A subsidiary measurement of the polarization of the recoil protons from elastic e−p scattering at 900 MeV and q2=10 F−2 gave a value (1.3±2.0)%.

Inspire Record 944989 DOI 10.17182/hepdata.26849

The reaction γ+p→π0+p has been studied in three adjacent 100-Mev energy intervals between 900 and 1200 Mev and at pion center-of-mass angles of 47°, 90°, and 125°. The reaction was observed as a coincidence between the recoil proton and one of the photons from the meson's decay. The kinematics were determined by the energy of the incident photon and the angle of the recoil proton. The differential cross sections at the forward and backward angles show pronounced maxima near 1050 Mev, while the 90° cross sections decrease slowly with energy. The estimated total cross sections suggest a narrow maximum near 1050 Mev. These features are consistent with the previously proposed existence of a resonant state in the pion-nucleon system of total angular momentum 52.

Photoproduction of Single Neutral Pions from Hydrogen at Energies 0.6 to 1.2 BeV

Phys.Rev. 130 (1963) 2089-2097, 1963.

Inspire Record 944976 DOI 10.17182/hepdata.26774

Measurements of the differential cross section for the process γ+p→π0+p have been made at three pion center-of-mass angles: 60°, 90°, and 120°. Values were obtained at intervals of 0.05 BeV (incident laboratory photon energy, k) from approximately 0.6 to 1.2 BeV. Most of the data were obtained by detecting only the recoil protons with a large, wedge-shaped, single-focusing magnetic spectrometer and associated equipment. For θ′π0=60° and k≤0.94 BeV the π0 decays were also required, the decay photons being detected by a lead glass total absorption counter. Although the experimental resolution was considerably narrower than that of most of the previous experiments, its averaging effect was still appreciable in certain regions. Using a six-parameter fit, the data at each angle were unfolded in an effort to eliminate the effects of resolution and to obtain the true cross sections as a function of energy. The results compare reasonably well with those of previous experiments once differences in resolutions and systematic errors are taken into account. The results did not agree with the predictions of a simple resonance model with the resonance quantum numbers suggested by Peierls. The positions and widths of the two cross-section peaks in this energy region are quite similar to those observed in π−p scattering.
