Exclusive photoproduction of up to large values of Mandelstam variables and with CLAS
Abstract
Exclusive photoproduction cross sections have been measured for the process $$\gamma p \rightarrow p\pi^0(e^+e^-(\gamma))$$ with the Dalitz decay final state using tagged photon energies in the range of $$E_{\gamma} = 1.275-5.425$$ GeV. The complete angular distribution of the final state $$\pi^0$$, for the entire photon energy range up to large values of $$t$$ and $$u$$, has been measured for the first time. The data obtained show that the cross section $$d\sigma/dt$$, at mid to large angles, decreases with energy as $$s^{-6.89\pm 0.26} $$. This is in agreement with the perturbative QCD quark counting rule prediction of $$s^{-7} $$. Paradoxically, the size of angular distribution of measured cross sections is greatly underestimated by the QCD based Generalized Parton Distribution mechanism at highest available invariant energy $s=11$ GeV$^2$. At the same time, the Regge-exchange-based models for $$\pi^0$$ photoproduction are more consistent with experimental data.
