pi. /sup +/ photoproduction off /sup 16/O and /sup 9/Be near threshold

Journal Article · · Phys. Rev., C; (United States)
The total cross sections relative to photoproduction off the proton have been measured for the reactions /sup 16/O(..gamma..,..pi../sup +/)/sup 16/N and /sup 9/Be(..gamma..,..pi../sup +/)/sup 9/Li over the energy region from the production threshold up to 12 MeV over threshold. A distorted-wave impulse approximation calculation has been performed for the /sup 16/O(..gamma..,..pi../sup +/)/sup 16/N reaction and is seen to be approx. = 30% higher than the observed cross section from threshold to 10 MeV. The /sup 9/Be(..gamma..,..pi../sup +/)/sup 9/Li reaction represents the first (..gamma..,..pi../sup +/) measurement near threshold in which the cross section is not dominated by the sigma-arrow-right x epsilon-arrow-right term in the production Hamiltonian.
