An Isobar Model for Η Photo- and Electroproduction on the Nucleon
نویسندگان
چکیده
An isobar model containing Born terms, vector meson exchange and nucleon resonances is used to analyze recent η photoproduction data for cross section and beam asymmetry, as well as JLab electroproduction data. Good overall description is achieved up to Q = 4.0 (GeV/c). Besides the dominant S11(1535) resonance, we show that the second S11 resonance, S11(1650), is also necessary to be included in order to extract S11(1535) resonance parameters properly. In addition, the beam asymmetry data allow us to extract very small (< 0.1%) N∗ → ηN decay branching ratios of D13(1520) and F15(1680) resonances because of the overwhelming s-wave dominance. The model is implemented as a part of the MAID program.

and electroexcitation of the nucleon
Generalized nucleon polarizabilities for virtual photons can be defined in terms of electroproduction cross sections as function of the 4-momentum transfer Q 2. In particular, the sum of the generalized electric and magnetic polarizabilities Σ = α + β and the spin polarizability γ can be expressed by virtual photon absorption cross sections integrated over the excitation energy. These quantitie...

متن کاملMultipole Analysis for Pion Photoproduction with Maid and a Dynamical Models
During the last few years we have developed and extended two models for the analysis of pion photo and electroproduction, the Dynamical Model 1 (hereafter called Dubna-Mainz-Taipei (DMT) model) and the Unitary Isobar Model 2 (hereafter called MAID). The final aim of such an analysis is to shed more light on the dynamics involved in nucleon resonance excitations and to extract N resonance proper...
متن کاملUnitary Isobar Model - MAID 2007
The unitary isobar model MAID2007 has been developed to analyze the world data of pion photo-and electroproduction. The model contains both a common background and several resonance terms. The background is unitarized according to the K-matrix prescription, and the 13 four-star resonances with masses below 2 GeV are described by appropriately unitarized Breit-Wigner forms. The data have been an...

Radiative nucleon-deuteron capture and photo disintegration of the three-nucleon bound state with two-body final states are described. The description uses nucleon degrees of freedom extended to include the excitation of a single nucleon to a ∆-isobar. The baryonic interaction and the electromagnetic current couple nucleonic states and states with a ∆-isobar. Exact solutions of three-particle s...
