High-statistics study of the reaction γp → p2π0

The photoproduction of 2 π 0 mesons off protons was studied with the Crystal Barrel/TAPS experiment at the electron accelerator ELSA in Bonn. The energy of photons produced in a radiator was tagged in the energy range from 600 MeV to 2.5 GeV. Differential and total cross sections and pπ 0 π 0 Dalitz...

Zusammenfassung:The photoproduction of 2 π 0 mesons off protons was studied with the Crystal Barrel/TAPS experiment at the electron accelerator ELSA in Bonn. The energy of photons produced in a radiator was tagged in the energy range from 600 MeV to 2.5 GeV. Differential and total cross sections and pπ 0 π 0 Dalitz plots are presented. Part of the data was taken with a diamond radiator producing linearly polarized photons, and beam asymmetries were derived. Properties of nucleon and Δ resonances contributing to the pπ 0 π 0 final state were determined within the Bonn-Gatchina (BnGa) partial-wave analysis. The data presented here allow us to determine branching ratios of nucleon and Δ resonances for their decays into pπ 0 π 0 via several intermediate states. Most prominent are decays proceeding via Δ (1232) π , N (1440)1/2 + π , N (1520)3/2 − π , N (1680)5/2 + π , but also pf 0 (500), pf 0 (980), and pf 2 (1270) contribute to the reaction.
