Photoproduction of π0 mesons on complex nuclei at small angles in the region of the Δ(1232) resonance

Description

The results of a study of photoproduction of π0 mesons at small angles in the region of the Δ33 resonance on the nuclei 6Li, 12C, 27Al, Cu, and Cd (where Cu and Cd are mixtures of isotopes) are presented. The differential cross sections for γ-ray lab energies ∼300-450 MeV and a mean c.m. emission angle ≅8.4 degree are given. The data for 6Li, and 12C, and 27Al are compared with the available calculations performed in the plane-wave and distorted-wave impulse approximation. An estimate of the resonance parameters of the Δ33 isobar is made, and the Aa dependence of the cross section is studied. The main characteristics of the apparatus are given
