Spin asymmetries from 16O(rvec γ,pπ-) near Δ resonance energies

Description

Spin asymmetries for the 16O(rvec γ,pπ-) reaction are reported for incident photon energies of 293 ± 20 MeV, proton angles ranging from 28 degree to 140 degree (lab), and pion angles of 35 degree to 115 degree. The data are compared with calculations in a quasifree plane-wave impulse approximation model. This model is in good agreement with the data at small momentum transfer q, but does not follow the trend of the data at large q. Sensitivity to the Δ-nucleus potential and to modification of the Δ lifetime from nuclear medium effects are explored using a simple modification of the Δ propagator in the calculations. copyright 1997 The American Physical Society
