Primakoff effect in electron scattering

  • 1. Physics Department, Fairfield University Fairfield, Connecticut, 06430

Description

The lifetime of π0 and other pseudoscalar mesons, has been successfully investigated in the past by means of the Primakoff effect, i.e., the production of neutral mesons by incident photons interacting with the Coulomb field of a high Z nucleus. In the present work, the same phenomenon is explored, initiated by virtual, rather than real, photons from electron scattering. Experimental measurements, if feasible, will provide valuable formation about the structure of the γπ0 vertex
