Polarization observables of the γd→πNN reaction in the Δ(1232)-resonance region

Polarization observables of the three charge states of the pion for the γd→πNN reaction with polarized photon beam and/or oriented deuteron target are evaluated over the whole Δ(1232)-resonance region adopting a nonrelativistic model based on time-ordered perturbation theory. Results for the π-meson spectra, linear photon asymmetry, vector and tensor target asymmetries are presented. Particular attention is given, for the first time, to double polarization asymmetries for which we present results for T20l and T2±2l. We find that all other double polarization asymmetries of photon and deuteron targets vanish. (author)
