Measurement ofN14(γ, π+)C14(g.s.)at 200 MeV: A Test of the Distorted-Wave Impulse Approximation for Charged-Pion Photoproduction below theΔ(1232)Resonance
Differential cross sections for $^{14}\mathrm{N}(\ensuremath{\gamma}, {\ensuremath{\pi}}^{+})^{14}\mathrm{C}(\mathrm{g}.\mathrm{s}.)$ (${0}^{+}$1) have been measured for an incident photon energy ${E}_{\ensuremath{\gamma}}=200$ MeV at laboratory angles of 45\ifmmode^\circ\else\textdegree\fi{}, 60\ifmmode^\circ\else\textdegree\fi{}, 75\ifmmode^\circ\else\textdegree\fi{}, 90\ifmmode^\circ\else\textdegree\fi{}, 120\ifmmode^\circ\else\textdegree\fi{}, and 140\ifmmode^\circ\else\textdegree\fi{}. Momentum-space distorted-wave-impulse-approximation calculations, using a complete treatment of a one-body pion-photoproduction operator, are found to be in excellent agreement with the experimental data…
N14(γ,π+)14Cgsat photon energies of 230, 260, and 320 MeV
The pion angular distribution for {sup 14}N({gamma},{pi}{sup +}){sup 14}C{sub g.s.} has been measured at photon energies of 230 and 260 MeV. These data are consistent with the trend of our earlier data at 200 and 320 MeV. Additional forward angle data were obtained at 320 MeV. The results are compared to several calculations based on the distorted-wave impulse approximation and on the delta-hole model. The data are best fit by the calculations of Tiator {ital et} {ital al}. which use the delta-hole model in the resonance channel. These calculations fit the 230 MeV data well and underestimate the 260 and 320 MeV data by about 25%.
