Measurement of theγpπ+nReaction near Threshold

Abstract: Differential cross sections for the gp ! p 1 n reaction have been measured at photon energies 1 to 2 MeV above threshold using tagged-photon beams. The electric dipole amplitude E 01 deduced at threshold is compared to recent predictions from chiral perturbation theory. Constraints on the value of the pN coupling constant are inferred by combining theory and experiment.

“…While we have obtained a reasonable fit to the available π 0 p differential and total cross sections (we fit rather well the new threshold TRIUMF-SAL π + n cross sections [22], and Mainz π 0 p Σ at 160 MeV [19]), the multipole amplitudes have no cusp built into the π + n threshold region. Both energy-dependent and single-energy solutions (SES) were obtained from fits to the combined π 0 p, π + n, π − p, and π 0 n databases to 2 GeV.…”

“…[29]. The latter work extends the results of low-energy theorems for threshold pion photoproduction within the framework of HBChPT by fitting the unknown low-energy constants appearing at O(p 3 ) to data on radiative pion capture [30] and pion photoproduction [31]. obtained from the HDT [21], SAID09 [22], MAID07 [23], and DMT [24] analyses as well as the predictions of HBChPT [29].…”

“…Eighty four of these cells formed a neutron detector array [9] that was used at the Saskatchewan Accelerator Laboratory (SAL) tagged photon facility [10] for a precision measurement of the gp ! np þ cross-section near the pion threshold by detecting the recoil neutrons [11]. Eighty eight of these cells now form a large acceptance neutron detector array known as Blowfish [12] which is currently being used at the Duke University High Intensity Gamma Source (HIGS) [13].…”
