Abstract

The strong coupling of rho meson to the nucleon produces s- and p-wave rho-meson-nucleon (ρN) resonances. In a nucleus, the ρN-resonance-hole polarization generates the optical potential or self-energy for the ρ meson. The scattering of ρ meson due to this potential provides valuable information about the ρN-resonance dynamics in a nucleus. To investigate it, we use this potential to calculate the mass distribution spectrumfor the ρ meson produced coherently in the proton-nucleus reaction. The cross sections arising due to s- and ρ-wave ρN resonances have been presented. The coherent and incoherent contributions to the cross sections due to these resonances are compared. In addition, the calculated results due to nonrelativistic and relativistic ρ-meson self-energy are illustrated.
