Even-wave harmonic-oscillator theory of baryonic states. V. Polarized photoproduction of single pions

Journal Article · · Phys. Rev., D; (United States)
A variant of the harmonic-oscillator (h.o.) model, termed the even-wave h.o. model (with quarks having h.o. interaction in even waves only), which was developed by Mitra and co-workers in a series of recent papers, is applied to the phenomenon of polarized photoproduction. The model, which predicts a ground state of (70,0/sup +/) and assumes and 8/sub d/ mixing angle (cottheta = ..sqrt..2) between 56 and 70 states, was recently found to give a good account of (i) the mass spectra of resonances, (ii) low-energy parameters such as G/sub A//G/sub V/, ..delta.. ..-->.. N..pi.. width, and NN..pi.. coupling constant, and (iii) resonance photocouplings, with no free parameters other than a universal spring constant (..cap omega.. approx. = 1 GeV/sup 2/). The present investigation reveals that this model agrees better with the data on polarized-targt asymmetry as well as dsigma/sub parallel/ and dsigma/sub perpendicular/ than does the conventional h.o. model.
