Double pion photoproduction on the nucleon: study of the isospin channels
1995
A model for the gamma p ----> pion+ pion- p reaction developed earlier is extended to account for all isospin channels. The model includes N, Delta(1232), N^*(1440) and N^*(1520) as intermediate baryonic states and the rho-meson as an intermediate two pion resonance. Although many terms contribute to the cross section, some channels exhibit particular sensitivity to certain mechanisms of resonance excitation or decay and the reactions provide novel information on such mechanisms. In particular the gamma N ----> N^*(1520) ----> Delta(1232) pion process affects all the channels and is a key ingredient in the interpretation of the data. Comparison is made with all available data and t…
Double pion photoproduction in nuclei
1995
The inclusive A(gamma,pi+ pi-)X reaction is studied theoretically. A sizeable enhancement of the cross section is found, in comparison with the scaling of the deuteron cross section (sigma_deuteron * A/2). This enhancement is due to the modifications in the nuclear medium of the gamma N ----> pi pi N amplitude and the pion dispersion relation. The enhancement is found to be bigger than the one already observed in the (pi,pi pi) reaction in nuclei.
Recent Developments in one and two Pion Production in Elementary Reactions and Few-Body Systems
1995
In this talk we cover several issues concerning pion production. The first one is the pp → ppπ 0 reaction where an alternative explanation based on the off shell extrapolation of the πN amplitude is offered. A recent model for the γN → ππN reaction is presented and a new kind of exchange current is constructed from it which allows one to address problems like double ∆ photoproduction from the deuteron. Finally the (γ, ππ) reaction in nuclei is studied and shown to be highly sensitive to the renormalization of the pions in nuclei.
A model for the γN → ππN reaction
1995
We have studied the γN→ππN reaction using a model which includes N, Δ(1232), N*(1440) and N*(1520) intermediate baryonic states and the ρ-meson as intermediate ππ resonance. The model reproduces fairly well experimental cross sections below E γ = 800 MeV and invariant-mass distributions even at higher energies. One of the interesting findings of the study is that the γ N →N*(1520) → Δπ process is very important and interferes strongly with the dominant Δ-Kroll-Ruderman term to produce the experimental peak of the cross section.
Meson exchange currents in theHe3(γ,π+)3H reaction
1996
We generate meson exchange currents mechanisms for the (\ensuremath{\gamma},${\mathrm{\ensuremath{\pi}}}^{+}$) reaction in nuclei starting from the \ensuremath{\gamma}N\ensuremath{\rightarrow}\ensuremath{\pi}\ensuremath{\pi}N amplitude on one nucleon and allowing one of the pions to be produced off shell and be absorbed by a second nucleon. Detailed calculations are presented for the \ensuremath{\gamma} $^{3}\mathrm{\ensuremath{\pi}}^{+3}$H reaction, where we show that the cross section at large momentum transfers is dominated by these mechanisms, helping improve the agreement with experimental data. It is also shown that the meson exchange currents produce important effects in the photon a…
Virtual versus real nuclear Compton scattering in the Delta(1232) region
1996
[EN] In this paper we calculate the cross section for Virtual Compton Scattering off nuclei in the delta resonance region. We also calculate the background for the process from Coherent Bremsstrahlung in nuclei and explore the regions where the Virtual Compton Scattering cross section dominates. The study also shows that it is possible to extract the cross section for Real Compton Scattering from the Virtual Compton one in a wide range of scattering angles.
Double Pion Production Reactions
1999
We report on reactions producing two pions induced by real and virtual photons or nucleons. The role of different resonances in these reactions is emphasized. Novel results on coherent 2π photoproduction in nuclei are also reported.
