  1. Single p0 photoproduction at SPring-8/LEPS Mizuki Sumihama Osaka university, RCNP JPS meeting March 2007

  2. Introduction Pion photoproduction is well studied experimentally and theoretically as a spectroscopy of N* and D* resonances. The proprieties of many resonances are determined at W < 1.7 GeV. However above the resonance region, the production mechanism is not well studied partly due to lack of data. We measured single p0 photoproduction in 1.9-2.3 GeV in total energy at backward angles where less experimental data. The production mechanism will be investigated in a transition range from nucleon-meson degrees of freedom to quark-gluon degrees of freedom. High mass resonances, u-channel contribution, quark counting rule…

  3. Diagram in tree level • W < 1.7 GeV • Models are well established. • Data are well explained by • four-star N* and D*. • W ~1.9 GeV • There are one or two star • N* and D* but doubtful. • W > 1.9 GeV • at very backward angles • non-resonant u-channel • is expected to be dominant. • Much higher, W > 3 GeV • in 60s, 70s. Regge baryon • pole explains data well. • Regge ~s2a(u)-2 at u~small, • follow quark counting rule.(JLab) t-channel (forward) s-channel g p0 g g p0 p0 p,r,w p p p p p p 1.9 – 2.3 GeV +Backward - medium p p g u-channel s-channel p0 p p N*, D* Born term List of four-star nucleon resonances P33(1232),P11(1440), D13(1520),S11(1535), S31(1620), S11(1650), D15(1675), F15(1680), D33(1700), P13(1720), F35(1905),P31(1910) and F37(1950) in MAID2005.

  6. Particle identificationby time-of-flight and momentum measurements • Proton selection with 4s. • Kaon/pion contamination is negligible.

  9. Background subtraction Single pion and double pion productions generated by MC simulation are fitted to data by a template fit. Systematic uncertainty was estimated by doing a fits by Gaussians for p0 peaks with 2s and 1.5s cuts. Example of results of template fits

  10. Systematic error Determine differential cross section • Obtain yield by subtracting two-pion photoproduction. • Detector acceptance is obtained Monte Carlo • simulation based on GEANT3. • Photon normalization is obtained by tagging counter. • Target protons 1.0% (fluctuation of temp. and pressure) • Photon normalization 1.2%, Photon transmission 3% • AC over veto 1.6% • Background subtraction,< 5%

  11. Differential cross section, Eg LEPS data Existing data. Eur.Phys.J.A26(2005)399, PRL,94(2005)012503, PLB,48(1974)463, NPB60(1973)267… SAID -partial-wave analysis (fit of existing data) PRC66,055213(2002) MAID2005 - isobar model nucl-th/0603012 • Good agreement with existing data (SAID). • Not follow ~s2a(u)-2(Regge),~s7(counting rule) at Eg > 1.8 GeV.

  12. Differential cross section cosqcm LEPS data Existing data. SAID MAID2005 • Discrepancy with MAID becomes large at higher energy. • Change angular distribution drastically at Eg~1.8GeV, • Backward peaking, small bump structure 1.85<Eg<1.95GeV.

  13. Photon beam asymmetry S LEPS data Existing data. PLB544(2002)113 NPB104(1976)253… nNv- Nh PgScos(2f) = nNv + Nh SAID MAID2005 Positive sign: s < s Negative sign: s > s 2.1 GeV < W < 2.3 GeV • Data show a good agreement with SAID/MAID. • Strong angular dependence above 1.8GeV.

  14. Summary Differential cross sections at very backward angles have been measured and new data at Eg > 1.8 GeV. Photon beam asymmetries have been measured at the first time at backward angles Eg > 1.5 GeV. Angular dependence of both observables changes at Eg =1.8 GeV. A strong angular dependence is seen at Eg > 1.8 GeV. Energy dependence cannot be explain by nucleon Regge pole nor scaling. At low energy region, the data is explained with models including well-known-nucleon resonances, but the strong angular dependence at high energy cannot be explained. Can the data be explained by Born term only? Does u-channel contribution dominate? Quark-hadron duality? High spin states? Challenge to theorists. Measurement at side angles and higher photon energy, Homework to experimentalist.
