Summary

Measurements of the energy spectra and the excitation yields of π and π+, from the reactions γ+p → π++p and γ+p → → π+0+n together, were done at a laboratory angle 58.2° with bremstrahlung maximum energies up to around 1 GeV, using the 1.3 GeV electron synchrotron. The differential cross-sections were derived and compared with a simple isobar model. The results show that, while the energy spectra and the excitation yields ofπ agree with the model of theT=1/2 isobar excitation decaying into Δ+π as well as with the existing data, those of π+ show some discrepancy with the same model. Discussions are given to explain the particular feature of π+ distributions observed in the present experiment.

Riassunto

Per mezzo dell’elettrosincrotrone di 1.3 GeV si sono eseguite misure degli spettri di energia e delle rese di eccitazione di π e π+ dalle reazioni combinate γ+p → → π++p e γ+p → π+0+n, ad un angolo di 58.2° nel sistema del laboratorio con energie di bremsstrahlung massime sino a circa 1 GeV. Si sono dedotte le sezioni d’urto e le si è confrontate con un semplice modello isobarico. I risultati mostrano che, mentre gli spettri di energia e le rese di eccitazione del π concordano col modello della eccitazione dell’isobaroT=1/2 che decade in Δ+π e con i dati esistenti, quelli del π+ presentano qualche discordanza con il suddetto modello. Si discute il modo di spiegare il particolare comportamento delle distribuzioni dei π+ osservate in questo esperimento.

Реэюме

Испольэуя злектронный синхротрон 1.3 ГзВ, были проведены иэмерения знергетических спектров и выходных воэбуждений π и π+ иэ реакций ρ+p → → π++p и ρ+p → π+o+n при лабораторном угле 58.2°, с максимальными знергиями тормоэного иэлучения вплоть до 1 ГзВ. Выводятся дифференциальные поперечные сечения, которые сравниваются с простой иэобарной моделью. Полученные реэультаты покаэывают, что хотя знергетические спектры и выходные воэбуждения для π согласуются с моделью иэобарного воэбужденияT=1/2, которое распадается на Δ+π, а так же с сушествуюшими данными, то знергетические спектры и выходные воэбуждения для π+ обнаруживают некоторое расхождение с той же моделью. Проводятся обсуждения, чтобы общяснить особенность π+ распределений, наблюденных в настояшем зксперименте.
