Evidence for Nucleon-Resonance Excitation inω-Meson Photoproduction

Abstract: The photoproduction of the omega meson has been studied at GRAAL from threshold up to a photon energy of 1.5 GeV. The differential cross sections and beam asymmetries have been measured precisely at all angles. The total cross section is also obtained. Systematic enhancements of the differential cross section at large angles and nonzero beam asymmetries at intermediate angles provide clear evidence for s- and u-channel resonant processes. The data are compared to the results of hadron and quark models.

“…The energy and angular dependence of the differential cross section near threshold however cannot be described with these mechanisms alone. Previous beam asymmetries from GRAAL [45], supported the significance of s-channel resonances near threshold (Fig. 8, bottom).…”

“…7 the comparison with published data is shown: open squares are from a different analysis of the GRAAL data performed by some members of the collaboration [15] for the three-pion decay channel. While present results show strong agreement within quoted errors, in the first two energy bins, larger asymmetry values are obtained by [15] at higher energies. The main difference between the two analysis procedures lies in the tracking reconstruction of the charged particles: this work fully exploits the good angular resolution provided by the multi-wire proportional chambers, which are not included in the analysis by [15].…”

“…In the past decade the study of baryon resonances has motivated several facilities to measure the ω meson differential cross section on the proton, with very high precision, in the energy region from threshold to 2.8 GeV [12][13][14][15][16]. Several theoretical interpretations attempted the extraction of resonant contributions, reaching conflicting results [17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24], but all agreeing that beam polarization observables are needed to constrain the dynamics of the ω photo-production reaction.…”

“…The DCS and ω spin density matrix elements (SDME) have been measured at SAPHIR and published [1] and measured by the CLAS collaboration [4,36]. The only other observable measured is the single polarization observable, the photon beam asymmetry (PBA) Σ ω (θ, E) at GRAAL [2,3]. We have elected to also include the older π induced reaction data from threshold (∼ 1.72 GeV) to 1.764 GeV from the Nimrod synchrotron [6] and the Alvarez detector data from 1.75 GeV to 2.05 GeV [5] (in 100 MeV bins).…”
