The reaction gamma p -> p pi0 gamma' has been measured with the Crystal Ball / TAPS detectors using the energy-tagged photon beam at the electron accelerator facility MAMI-B. Energy and angular differential cross sections for the emitted photon gamma' and angular differential cross sections for the pi0 have been determined with high statistics in the energy range of the Delta+(1232) resonance. Cross sections and the ratio of the cross section to the non-radiative process gamma p -> p pi0 are compared to theoretical reaction models, having the anomalous magnetic moment kappa_Delta+ as free parameter. As the shape of the experimental distributions is not reproduced in detail by the model calculations, currently no extraction of kappa_Delta+ is feasible.
Angular distribution of the PI0 in the reaction GAMMA P --> P PI0 at beam energy 400 MeV. Inclusive measurement where only the PI0 decay photons are detected.
Angular distribution of the PI0 in the reaction GAMMA P --> P PI0 at beam energy 400 MeV. Exclusive measurement where only the PI0 decay photons and recoil proton are detected.
Differential cross section as a function of the emitted photon energy for the reaction GAMMA P --> P PI0 GAMMA at beam energy 350 MeV.
