Beam-Helicity Asymmetries in Double-Charged-Pion Photoproduction on the Proton
2005
Beam-helicity asymmetries for the two-pion-photoproduction reaction gamma + p --> p pi+ pi- have been studied for the first time in the resonance region for center-of-mass energies between 1.35 GeV and 2.30 GeV. The experiment was performed at Jefferson Lab with the CEBAF Large Acceptance Spectrometer using circularly polarized tagged photons incident on an unpolarized hydrogen target. Beam-helicity-dependent angular distributions of the final-state particles were measured. The large cross-section asymmetries exhibit strong sensitivity to the kinematics and dynamics of the reaction. The data are compared with the results of various phenomenological model calculations, and show that these…
ProjectileΔand target Roper excitation in thep(d,d′)Xreaction
2000
In this paper we compare a model that contains the mechanisms of $\ensuremath{\Delta}$ excitation in the projectile and Roper excitation in the target with experimental data from two ${(d,d}^{\ensuremath{'}})$ experiments on a proton target. The agreement of the theory with the experiment is fair for the data taken at ${T}_{d}=2.3$ GeV. The $\ensuremath{\Delta}$ excitation in the projectile is predicted close to the observed energy with the correct width. The theory, however, underpredicts by about 40% the cross sections measured at ${T}_{d} = 1.6$ GeV at angles where the cross section has fallen by about two orders of magnitude. The analysis done here allows us to extract an approximate st…
