Resonance Contributions to {eta} Photoproduction on Protons Found Using Dispersion Relations and an Isobar Model
The contributions of the resonances D{sub 13}(1520), S{sub 11}(1535), S{sub 11}(1650), D{sub 15}(1675), F{sub 15}(1680), D{sub 13}(1700), P{sub 11}(1710), P{sub 13}(1720) to {gamma}p {yields} {eta}p are found from the data on cross sections, beam and target asymmetries using two approaches: fixed-t dispersion relations and an isobar model. Utilization of the two approaches and comparison of the results obtained with different parametrizations of the resonance contributions allowed us to make conclusions about the model-dependence of these contributions. We conclude that the results for the contributions of the resonances D{sub 13}(1520), S{sub 11}(1535), F{sub 15}(1680) to corresponding multipole amplitudes are stable. With this the results for D{sub 13}(1520) and F{sub 15}(1680), combined with their PDG photoexcitation helicity amplitudes, allowed us to find the branching ratios Br (D{sub 13}(1520) {yields} {eta}N) = 0.05 {+-} 0.02%, Br (F{sub 15}(1680) {yields} {eta} N) = 0.16 {+-} 0.04% which have significantly better accuracy than the PDG data. The total Breit-Wigner width of the S{sub 11}(1535) is model-dependent, we have obtained {Gamma} (S{sub 11}(1520)) = 142 MeV and 195 MeV using dispersion relations and the isobar model, respectively. The results for the S{sub 11}(1650), D{sub 15}(1675), P{sub 11}(1710), P{sub 13}(1720) are model dependent, only the signs and orders of magnitude of their contributions to multipole amplitudes are determined. The results for the D{sub 13}(1700) are strongly model-dependent.
