Abstract

This work measured dσ/dΩ for neutral kaon photoproduction reactions from threshold up to a c.m. energy of 1855MeV, focussing specifically on the γp→K0Σ+, γn→K0Λ, and γn→K0Σ0 reactions. Our results for γn→K0Σ0 are the first-ever measurements for that reaction. These data will provide insight into the properties of N∗ resonances and, in particular, will lead to an improved knowledge about those states that couple only weakly to the πN channel. Integrated cross sections were extracted by fitting the differential cross sections for each reaction as a series of Legendre polynomials and our results are compared with prior experimental results and theoretical predictions.

Abstract

The scalar dipole polarizabilities, αE1αE1 and βM1βM1 , are fundamental properties related to the internal dynamics of the nucleon. The currently accepted values of the proton polarizabilities were determined by fitting to unpolarized proton Compton scattering cross section data. The measurement of the beam asymmetry Σ3Σ3 in a certain kinematical range provides an alternative approach to the extraction of the scalar polarizabilities. At the Mainz Microtron (MAMI) the beam asymmetry was measured for Compton scattering below pion photoproduction threshold for the first time. The results are compared with model calculations and the influence of the experimental data on the extraction of the scalar polarizabilities is determined.

Abstract

High-statistics measurements of the photon asymmetry Σ for the γp → π0p reaction have been\ud made in the center-of-mass energy range W = 1214–1450 MeV. The data were measured with the MAMI\ud A2 real photon beam and Crystal Ball/TAPS detector systems in Mainz, Germany. The results significantly\ud improve the existing world data and are shown to be in good agreement with previous measurements, and\ud with the MAID, SAID, and Bonn-Gatchina predictions. We have also combined the photon asymmetry\ud results with recent cross-section measurements from Mainz to calculate the profile functions, Σˇ (= σ0Σ), and perform a moment analysis. Comparison with calculations from the Bonn-Gatchina model shows\ud that the precision of the data is good enough to further constrain the higher partial waves, and there\ud is an indication of interference between the very small F-waves and the N(1520)3/2− and N(1535)1/2−\ud resonances.

Abstract

Quasi-free photoproduction of πηπη -pairs has been investigated from threshold up to incident photon energies of 1.4 GeV, respectively up to photon-nucleon invariant masses up to 1.9 GeV. Total cross sections, angular distributions, invariant-mass distributions of the πηπη and meson-nucleon pairs, and beam-helicity asymmetries have been measured for the reactions γp→pπ0ηγp→pπ0η , γn→nπ0ηγn→nπ0η , γp→nπ+ηγp→nπ+η , and γn→pπ−ηγn→pπ−η from nucleons bound inside the deuteron. For the γpγp initial-state data for free protons have also been analyzed. Finally, the total cross sections for quasi-free production of π0ηπ0η pairs from nucleons bound in 3 He nuclei have been investigated in view of final state interaction (FSI) effects. The experiments were performed at the tagged photon beam facility of the Mainz MAMI accelerator using an almost 4 ππ covering electromagnetic calorimeter composed of the Crystal Ball and TAPS detectors. The shapes of all differential cross section data and the asymmetries are very similar for protons and neutrons and agree with the conjecture that the reactions are dominated by the sequential Δ⋆3/2−→ηΔ(1232)→πηNΔ⋆3/2−→ηΔ(1232)→πηN decay chain, mainly with Δ(1700)3/2−Δ(1700)3/2− and Δ(1940)3/2−Δ(1940)3/2− . The ratios of the magnitude of the total cross sections also agree with this assumption. However, the absolute magnitudes of the cross sections are reduced by FSI effects with respect to free

Abstract

Total cross sections, angular distributions, and invariant-mass distributions have been measured for the photoproduction of π0π0 pairs off free protons and off nucleons bound in the deuteron. The experiments were performed at the MAMI accelerator facility in Mainz using the Glasgow photon tagging spectrometer and the Crystal Ball/TAPS detector. The accelerator delivered electron beams of 1508 and 1557MeV, which produced bremsstrahlung in thin radiator foils. The tagged photon beam covered energies up to 1400MeV. The data from the free proton target are in good agreement with previous measurements and were only used to test the analysis procedures. The results for differential cross sections (angular distributions and invariant-mass distributions) for free and quasi-free protons are almost identical in shape, but differ in absolute magnitude up to 15%. Thus, moderate final-state interaction effects are present. The data for quasi-free neutrons are similar to the proton data in the second resonance region (final-state invariant masses up to ≈1550 MeV), where both reactions are dominated by the N(1520)3/2−→Δ(1232)3/2+π decay. At higher energies, angular and invariant-mass distributions are different. A simple analysis of the shapes of the invariant-mass distributions in the third resonance region is consistent with strong contributions of an N⋆→Nσ decay for the proton, while the reaction is dominated by a sequential decay via a Δπ intermediate state for the neutron. The data are compared to predictions from the Two-Pion-MAID model and the Bonn-Gatchina coupled-channel analysis.

Abstract

The 12C (→γ ,pp) reaction has been studied in the photon energy range 200-450 MeV at the Mainz microtron MAMI-C, where linearly polarised photons were energy-tagged using the Glasgow-Mainz Tagged Photon Spectrometer and protons were detected in the Crystal Ball detector. The photon asymmetry Σ has been measured over a wider Eγ range than previous measurements. The strongest asymmetries were found at low missing energies where direct emission of nucleon pairs is expected. Cuts on the difference in azimuthal angles of the two ejected protons increased the magnitude of the observed asymmetries. At low missing energies the Σ data exhibit a strong angular dependence, similar to deuteron photodisintegration.
