Cross-section measurement of charged-pion photoproduction from hydrogen and deuterium.

چکیده
We have measured the differential cross section for the gamman-->pi(-)p and gammap-->pi(+)n reactions at theta(c.m.)=90 degrees in the photon energy range from 1.1 to 5.5 GeV at Jefferson Lab (JLab). The data at E(gamma) greater, similar 3.3 GeV exhibit a global scaling behavior for both pi(-) and pi(+) photoproduction, consistent with the constituent counting rule and the existing pi(+) photoproduction data. Possible oscillations around the scaling value are suggested by these new data. The data show enhancement in the scaled cross section at a center-of-mass energy near 2.2 GeV. The cross section ratio of exclusive pi(-) to pi(+) photoproduction at high energy is consistent with the prediction based on one-hard-gluon-exchange diagrams.

Single Charged Pion Photoproduction from the Nucleon at 11 GeV July 7 , 2006
The γn → πp and γp → π+n reactions are essential and simplest probes of the transition from meson-nucleon degrees of freedom to quark-gluon degrees of freedom in exclusive processes. The cross sections of these processes are also advantageous, for detailed investigation of the possible oscillatory scaling behavior around the (generalized) quark counting rule prediction, since they decrease rela...
متن کاملCharged Current Single Pion Cross Section Measurement at MiniBooNE
Charged current single pion (CC1π) production has been studied since the advent of high energy neutrino beams, but the cross section around 1 GeV energy is still not well understood. Also, many of the data that do exist come from hydrogen and deuterium targets, so there is still a significant need to study nuclear effects in this process. Figure 1 [3] shows a comparison of the CC1π measurements...

متن کاملNew developments in threshold pion photo- and electroproduction
Photoproduction of neutral and charged pions off nucleons and deuterium has been precisely calculated in baryon chiral perturbation theory. I review the predictions in light of the accurate data that have become available over the last few years. Some progress in the description of neutral pion electroproduction off protons is also discussed.
متن کاملThe inclusive reaction d ( γ , π ) NN in the first resonance region
Inclusive single pion photoproduction on the deuteron is studied in the first resonance region. The calculation is based on the use of the diagrammatic approach. Pole diagrams and one-loop diagrams with N N rescattering in the final state are taken into account. The elementary operator for pion photoproduction from the nucleon is taken in on-shell form and calculated using the SAID and MAID mul...
