Measurement of the Helicity Asymmetry $E$ for the reaction $ ��p\to ��^0 p$

A measurement of the double-polarization observable $E$ for the reaction $��p\to ��^0 p$ is reported. The data were taken with the CBELSA/TAPS experiment at the ELSA facility in Bonn using the Bonn frozen-spin butanol (C$_4$H$_9$OH) target, which provided longitudinally-polarized protons. Circularly-polarized photons were produced via bremsstrahlung of longitudinally-polarized electrons. The data cover the photon energy range from $E_��=600$~MeV to $E_��=2310$~MeV and nearly the complete angular range. The results are compared to and have been included in recent partial wave analyses.
