Hydrogen and deuterium gases have been bombarded in a gas target at a temperature of 77°K and at a pressure of about 140 atmospheres by the 318±10 Mev "spread-out" bremsstrahlung photon beam of the Berkeley electron synchrotron. The charged π-mesons which were produced were collimated at angles of 45°, 90°, and 135° to the beam direction. The π+ mesons were detected with trans-stilbene scintillation crystals using πμ, πβ, and πμβ delayed coincidences and π+ and π− mesons were detected with Ilford C-2 200-micron nuclear emulsions. The ratios of the numbers of π− to π+ mesons produced in deuterium were 0.96±0.10, 1.09±0.12, and 1.21±0.17 for the angles of 45°, 90°, and 135°, respectively. No variation of the ratio with meson energy, outside statistics, was observed. Absolute values for the π+ meson energy distribution functions from hydrogen and deuterium per "equivalent quantum" have been measured at each of the above production angles. The differential and total cross sections have been obtained by integrating over energy and angle, respectively. The experimental ratios of the deuterium to hydrogen cross sections are in good agreement with the phenomenological theory of Chew and Lewis when the Hulthén deuteron function with β=6α is used in the initial state, plane waves are used for the nucleons in the final state, and the bremsstrahlung cutoff is taken into account. The statistics of the data are, however, not sufficient to determine the amount of spin interaction. The excitation functions for hydrogen and deuterium and points on the angular distribution curves in the center-of-mass system have been obtained. An upper limit of 0.08 of the charged π-meson cross section was obtained for μ-meson production from deuterium.

Inspire Record 944938 DOI 10.17182/hepdata.26460

The production of π∘ mesons in the reaction γ+p→π∘+p is investigated as a function of the incident γ-ray energy in the region from 200 Mev to 300 Mev. For the π∘ emitted at approximately 90° laboratory angle, the differential cross section can be represented by (dσπ∘dΩ)π2=C(K−145)1.9±0.4, where K= energy of incident γ-ray in Mev. The approximate threshold for the reaction is 145 Mev. The ratio of the cross section at 60° laboratory angle to that at 90° laboratory angle, for γ-rays between 250 Mev and 300 Mev, is 1.45±0.25.

Photoproduction of Positive Pions from Hydrogen at Energies Near the First Resonance

Alvarez, R.A. ;
Phys.Rev. 142 (1966) 957-971, 1966.
Inspire Record 944957 DOI 10.17182/hepdata.26683

Angular distributions for positive-pion photoproduction from liquid hydrogen have been measured at photon energies near 225, 250, 275, 300, and 350 MeV. These have been normalized to an absolute cross section near the peak of the first resonance, measured by means of a polyethylene-carbon subtraction using solid targets. The results are compared with results of previous experiments as well as several dispersion-theoretic predictions of the cross sections. The data can be fitted within the experimental and theoretical uncertainties by a theoretical calculation containing only the pion pole term and the transition to the P3,3 state due to the first resonance.

Charged-Pion Photoproduction from Deuterium with Polarized Bremsstrahlung

Phys.Rev. 136 (1964) B1183-B1186, 1964.
Inspire Record 1186786 DOI 10.17182/hepdata.26721

Measurements have been made on the ratio of pion-production cross sections at right angles to and along the photon electric-field vector. The positive and negative pions were first momentum-analyzed and counted by means of a counter telescope. Data have been taken at 45, 90, and 135° in the c.m. system, and at proton energies of 225, 330, and 450 MeV. A comparison of the data is made with the dispersion-relation calculation of McKinley.

Proton form factors from elastic electron-proton scattering

Phys.Rev. 142 (1966) 922-931, 1966.
Inspire Record 49127 DOI 10.17182/hepdata.26698

Absolute measurements of the elastic electron-proton cross section have been made with a precision of about 4% for values of the square of the four-momentum transfer, q2, in the range 6.0 to 30.0 F−2 and for electron scattering angles in the range 45° to 145°. To within the experimental errors, it is found that the charge and magnetic form factors of the proton have a common dependence on q2 when normalized to unity at q2=0, and that an accurate representation of the behavior of the form factor and that of the cross sections themselves can be given in terms of a three-pole approximation to the dispersion theory of nucleon form factors.

Neutral Meson Production with Polarized X Rays

Phys.Rev. 136 (1964) B543-B557, 1964.
Inspire Record 944967 DOI 10.17182/hepdata.26716

Measurements of π0 photoproduction have been made at 235, 285, 335, and 435 MeV, using a beam of polarized x rays. Using a calculated value of polarization, an analysis is made which indicates a possible need for γ, ρ, π, or γ, ω, π coupling. The polarization calculations are checked by measurements made as a function of photon production angle at 335 MeV.

Proton Compton Effect for 300-MeV Photons

Gray, E.R. ; Hanson, A.O. ;
Phys.Rev. 160 (1967) 1212-1215, 1967.
Inspire Record 944949 DOI 10.17182/hepdata.26568

The scattering of photons by protons has been measured with a spark-chamber technique using 335-MeV bremsstrahlung. The experimental values obtained at 90° and 135° are compared with those calculated by Contogouris using dispersion relations. The agreement is reasonable except for a persistently low point for 310 MeV at 90°.

Elastic Electron-Deuteron Scattering

Inspire Record 944959 DOI 10.17182/hepdata.26656

We present results on elastic electron-deuteron experiments performed at Orsay. The range of momentum transfers is 0.6 to 2 F−2. Two kinds of measurements have been taken detecting the scattered electron: one with a solid CD2 target, the other with a liquid target. The data are analyzed with the nonrelativistic theory, which gives slightly positive neutron form factors and a magnetic neutron form factor nearly equal to the magnetic proton form factor.

Backward Photoproduction of pi0 in the Region of the P-33 Pion-Nucleon Resonance

Croissiaux, M. ; Dally, E.B. ; Morand, R. ; et al.
Phys.Rev. 164 (1967) 1623-1634, 1967.
Inspire Record 52290 DOI 10.17182/hepdata.26529

The π0 photoproduction cross section has been measured at 180° for photon energies from 220 to 380 MeV, in steps of 20 MeV, by detecting the recoil proton at 0°. The statistical accuracy of the measurements varies between 3 and 7%, depending on the energy. Absolute cross sections have been deduced from a comparison of the measurements with electron-proton scattering. The experimental data are compared with theoretical results calculated from fixed-momentum-transfer dispersion relations. Special attention is paid to the prediction of the multipoles at the first resonance, namely, E1+32, M1+32, and E0+π0 to obtain agreement with experiment.
