Coherent π0 photoproduction in the isobar-hole formalism

  • 1. Instituut voor Kernphysisch Onderzoek, Amsterdam, The Netherlands

Description

The isobar-hole formalism for pion-nucleus interactions is applied to coherent π0 photoproduction on nuclei. The unifying features of this approach for elastic scattering and photoproduction are discussed, and the relationship to distorted-wave impulse approximation calculations and the phenomenological doorway model are examined. The results are presented for 16O(γ,π0)16O and show a large suppression from the impulse approximation prediction
