Pion Photoproduction     [Overview]

Data Base
The data base contains on the order of 25K data points from both proton
( p ->+n, p ->0p ) and neutron ( n ->-p , n ->0n ) target experiments, plus a smaller set of inverse reaction data (-p -> n).
Observables
Observables are defined in terms of both helicity and transversity amplitudes in: Barker, Donnachie and Storrow, Nucl. Phys. B95, 347 (1975). Helicity amplitudes can be constructed from our multipole amplitudes using the relations in: Arndt, Workman, Li, and Roper, Phys. Rev. C42, 1853 (1990).
Multipole Amplitudes
Multipole amplitudes are denoted by the N final state (L2I,2J: L being the angular momentum, I the isospin, and J the total spin), the electromagnetic transition (E:electric, M:magnetic), and the target type (n or p). Thus, P33pM is the usual M1+3/2 multipole associated with the -> N transition.
