Photo-Production of Mesonsat Forward Region (small |t|)
• Pomeron: – Positive power-law scaling of s.– Dominating at large energy.– Natural parity (=+1). – Exchange particles unknown; like
ly to be glueball : P1(J=2+), P2 (J=0+, negative power-law scaling of s, Ref: T. Nakano and H.Toki, 1998)
• Pseudo-scalar particle: – Negative power-law scaling of s.– Showing up at small energy.– Un-natural parity (= –1).– Exchange particles like ,.– OZI suppressed.
World data near threshold
Solid curve : A model with Pomeron + Pseudo scalar exchange (A. Titov et. al, PRC 67 (2003), 065205)
A local maximum seen in ds/dt (t=tmin) near Eg=2 GeV.Smaller t slope near threshold. A simple extrapolation from high Eg by Regge model gives b ~5 GeV2

What causes this structure?Could be due to:
•Pseudo-scalar exchange?•0+ glueball trajectory?
Utilize the extra scrutiny power of polarization observables.

Coherent Photoproduction from Deuteron
• Large radius of deuteron leads to fast deceasing form factor. A steeper exponential slope in t distribution.
• In scattering amplitude, the unnatural-parity iso-vector exchange is completely eliminated due to Tn
= Tp. Dec
ay asymmetry gets closer to +1.• The -meson exchange is about one o
rder smaller than that of -exchange in pp. Positive-parity components are expected to dominate in a significant way. Decay asymmetry gets very close to +1.
• Energy dependence of cross section. Deviation from that of Pomeron exchange will signal the other component(s) with positive-parity exchange.

Isospin Effect in Decay Asymmetry of Quasi-free Photoproduction from NucleonsDue to isospin factor 3:• gpp and gpp are of the same
sign: constructive interference between -exchange and -exchange.
• gnn (= gpp )and gnn (=gpp ) are of opposite sign: destructive interference between -exchange and -exchange.
• Value of decay symmetry gets closer to +1 in nn, compared with pp.

Decay Asymmetry
Parity Asymmetry
Method• Cross Section
– Standard technique as SLH2. Acceptance function is evaluated by MC events.
– The separation of coherent and incoherent components is done by the fit of MMd distribution.
• Decay Asymmetry– 1d fit: standard technique as SLH2. Acceptance function is evaluated by
MC events. – Maximum likelihood fit: 9 ijk’s can be determined simultaneously.– Contributions from coherent and incoherent components are disentangle
d by the measurements with different MMd cuts, i.e. different relative percentage of mixture of these two components in the event samples under the assumption of linear contribution.

Coherent vs IncoherentProton vs Neutron• Determine of relative ratios of coherent component to
incoherent one by fitting MMd spectra with MC simulation.
• In LD2 data, disentangle decay asymmetry of coherent interaction and incoherent one as functions of Egamma and t.
• By the decay asymmetry results from LH2 and coherent part of LD2, disentangle decay asymmetry of interactions with protons and neutrons.
MC LD2 event sample
• Coherent events:– Exponential t-slope: 15– All rho’s=0 except rho(1,1-1)=0.5, Im rho(2,1-1)=-
0.5. • Incoherent events:
– Exponential t-slope: 3– All rho’s=0 except rho(1,1-1)=0.2, Im rho(2,1-1)=-
0.2.

Summary
• Large exponential slope about 15 and strong energy dependence of intercept at t=tmin are observed for the coherent production off LD2. The energy dependence of intercept for coherent LD2 events is distinctively different from those of LH2 and LD2 incoherent events.
• Large decay asymmetry around the value of +1 is disentangled for coherent LD2 interaction. Consistent with theoretical prediction based on the absence of unnatural-parity -exchange and small contribution of η-exchange..
• Estimation of systematic errors by MC trials will be done.
