Distribution of electric multipole strengths in58Ni
Inelastic electron scattering of 124 and 180 MeV electrons from58Ni has been measured for momentum transfers of 0.4 fm−1≤q≤1.2 fm−1 with an energy resolution of 110 keV. Using DWBA form factors with Tassie transition densities, we have extracted the electric multipole strength forL≤4 residing in 28 discrete states and in the inelastic continuum below 22.5 MeV of excitation.
Cross section ratio and angular distributions of the reaction p + d -> 3He + eta at 48.8 MeV and 59.8 MeV excess energy
We present new data for angular distributions and on the cross section ratio of the p + d -> 3He + eta reaction at excess energies of Q = 48.8 MeV and Q = 59.8 MeV. The data have been obtained at the WASA-at-COSY experiment (Forschungszentrum J\"ulich) using a proton beam and a deuterium pellet target. While the shape of obtained angular distributions show only a slow variation with the energy, the new results indicate a distinct and unexpected total cross section fluctuation between Q = 20 MeV and Q = 60 MeV, which might indicate the variation of the production mechanism within this energy interval.
Search for narrow dibaryon resonances in neutral pion photoproduction from the deuteron
The reaction γd↦π0 X has been measured with TAPS at MAMI in the energy range E γ = 140-300 MeV. Using the Glasgow tagging spectrometer a photon energy resolution of 0.8 MeV was achieved. The energy excitation functions of integral and differential total cross-sections show no structures of statistical significance > 2σ. Upper limits for the production of narrow isoscalar or isovector dibaryons with masses m? 2100 MeV/c2 were deduced. They are in the range 2-5 μb averaged over the 0.8 MeV energy resolution.
Coherent and incoherent π0 photoproduction from the deuteron
Differential cross-sections for the reactions d(gamma,pi (o))d and d(gamma,pi (o))pn have been measured at MAMI with the TAPS detector setup in the energy range 140 MeV > E- > 306 MeV. By use of the Glasgow tagging spectrometer an 0.8 MeV energy resolution for photons incident on the target was achieved. The (o) missing energy resolution was sufficient for a reliable separation of coherent and incoherent channels. The data for the break-up channel exhibit very strong final state interaction effects, whereas the observed angular dependence of the inclusive process d(gamma, pi (o))X is in quantitative agreement with predictions for a quasi-free process. The observed absolute d(gamma, pi (o))X…
The12C(γ,NN)reaction studied over a wide kinematic range
The ${}^{12}\mathrm{C}(\ensuremath{\gamma},np)$ and ${}^{12}\mathrm{C}(\ensuremath{\gamma},pp)$ reactions have been studied using the Glasgow photon tagging spectrometer at the Mainz MAMI electron microtron for ${E}_{\ensuremath{\gamma}}=150--700$ MeV over a kinematic range which extends well beyond the approximately back-to-back detector arrangements of previous work. For ${}^{12}\mathrm{C}(\ensuremath{\gamma},np)$ the general trends of the missing energy distributions are reproduced over a wide range of kinematics and photon energies by the theory developed by the Valencia group. The corresponding ${}^{12}\mathrm{C}(\ensuremath{\gamma},pp)$ channel is overestimated by a factor of \ensurem…
Measurement of the $pn \to pp\pi^0\pi^-$ Reaction in Search for the Recently Observed Resonance Structure in $d\pi^0\pi^0$ and $d\pi^+\pi^-$ systems
Exclusive measurements of the quasi-free $pn \to pp\pi^0\pi^-$ reaction have been performed by means of $pd$ collisions at $T_p$ = 1.2 GeV using the WASA detector setup at COSY. Total and differential cross sections have been obtained covering the energy region $\sqrt s$ = (2.35 - 2.46) GeV, which includes the region of the ABC effect and its associated resonance structure. No ABC effect, {\it i.e.} low-mass enhancement is found in the $\pi^0\pi^-$-invariant mass spectrum -- in agreement with the constraint from Bose statistics that the isovector pion pair can not be in relative s-wave. At the upper end of the covered energy region $t$-channel processes for Roper, $\Delta(1600)$ and $\Delta…
Measurement of coherent and incoherent π0 photoproduction off the deuteron with tagged photons up to the Δ region
Coherent and incoherent pi(0) photoproduction off the deuteron has been measured for incident quasi-monoenergetic photons in the energy range from pi(0) threshold up to 300 MeV using the TAPS setup together with the Glasgow tagger at MAMI. Integral and differential cross sections over the full angular range have been obtained. Coherent and incoherent production are found to exhibit very different angle and energy dependences. The sum of both processes, the total pi(0) production off the deuteron is quantitatively extremely well described by a pure quasifree model, whereas the data for coherent and incoherent channels necessitate strong FSI effects for their description. Finally upper limits…
