pi. /sup 0/ photoproduction near threshold on hydrogen, deuterium, /sup 3/He, and /sup 4/He

Journal Article · · Phys. Rev., C; (United States)
Relative measurements of ..pi../sup 0/ photoproduction yields have been performed on hydrogen, deuterium, /sup 3/He, and /sup 4/He, in the region of 1 to 10 MeV above threshold. A simplified distorted-wave impulse approximation model of the four reactions is described; it leads to an overall understanding of the results. Large rescattering effects are brought to evidence in deuterium and /sup 3/He, making the extraction of precise values for the dipole photoproduction amplitudes E/sub 0/+ on nucleons strongly dependent on the theoretical description of the processes.
