A. Kraus et al., BEAM ASYMMETRY OF COHERENT PI-DEGREES PHOTOPRODUCTION ON HE-4 IN THE DELTA(1232) RANGE MEASURED USING COHERENT BREMSSTRAHLUNG, Physical review letters, 79(20), 1997, pp. 3834-3836
Using coherent bremsstrahlung at MAMI (Mainz), the beam asymmetry of t
he differential cross sections for coherent pi degrees photoproduction
on He-4 has been measured in the energy interval from 200 to 500 MeV
at an angle of theta(lab) = 37 degrees. The coherent (gamma, pi degree
s) reaction is used as a precise linear polarimeter for the first time
. Agreement with predictions has been obtained on a greater than or si
milar to 3% level of precision.
