Study of two pion channel from photoproduction on the deuteron
Lewis Graham
Proposal
Phys 745 Class
May 6, 2009
Overview
• Physics Motivation
• EG3 Data Set
• Analysis
• Outlook
This CLAS Analysis…
will use eg3 data set
will study 2π decays measuring the cross section for γd → Δ++(pπ+)π- and the angular dependent cross sections detecting all final state particles
will study final-state interactions with the “spectator” neutron
a first measurement of the Δ+
+π- channel covering the energies and kinematics required to investigate higher lying resonances.
a first look at cross sections for kinematic and systematic effects.
a better understanding of the eg3 systematics.
The proposal is based on results from this analysis!
The main motivations are to provide…
N* photoproduction experiments at JLab
on the proton g1: circular beam polarization g8b: linear beam polarization FROST: polarized beam and target
Analysis of current photoproduction data on the proton finds
all PDG 2*, 3*, and 4* resonances below 2.1 GeV no 1* resonances (P31(1750), S11(2090), P11(2100), …) no ‘missing’ N* resonances
High lying (W >1.7 GeV) nucleon resonances study. Current study of high lying (W >1.6 GeV) nucleon resonances (can compare).
Extraction of known resonances with data extending to high energy range ( ~ 5.5 GeV). Existing data is only up to 5.1 GeV.
Search for possible signals from missing baryon states.
Physics Goals

(Relativized 3P0 model)
Predicted but not observed in the experiment states are expected to decouple from N channel
but couple to the , N, N channels. Most of the
Nucleon Spectroscopyinformation was
obtained from N N(X) reactions

Therefore, missing states
may be observed in the channels of
multihadron production by photons for instance
in two pion channel.

Combined fit of various 1-diff. cross-sections allowed to establish all significant mechanisms.
Complete set of unpolarized 1-differential cross-sections in r,v→-+p reactions.
For unpolarized beam/target, the final state, r,v→-+p reaction offers 9 independent single-differential cross-sections in each (W&Q2) bin. All these cross-sections are available from CLAS for the first time.
