Backward Photoproduction of π0 Mesons at 6 to 18 GeV
- SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory (SLAC), Menlo Park, CA (United States)
Differential cross sections for π0 photoproduction at backward angles have been measured in the momentum transfer range u = 0 to -1 (GeV/c)2, for incident photon energies of 6, 8, 12 and 18 GeV. A collimated bremsstrahlung beam from the Stanford linear accelerator was passed through a 40-in. -long liquid-hydrogen target, and the momentum spectrum of the forward moving protons was measured in the SLAC 20 GeV/c magnetic spectrometer. Single pion production is separated from other processes on the basis of kinematics and the spectrum shape.
