Description

Photoproduction is an important reaction in studies of hadron spectroscopy. In particular, a study of two-pion photoproduction allows for an investigation of meson resonances in the pi-pi system and also allows one to study the process γpπΔ. Under the assumption of single pion exchange, this two-to-three process may be factorized into two sub-processes; a photon dissociation to two (off-shell) pions, and a further two-body πN scattering event which brings the system on-shell. This interpretation allows for a description of two-pion photoproduction in terms of the well-known elastic πN scattering amplitudes. Augmenting this so-called 'Deck Mechanism' with the ρ resonance leads to a reasonable description of the differential cross section in the vicinity of the ρ resonance. Encouraged by this success, we predict the angular moments of the two-pion system and compare with CLAS data. We also make predictions for the process γpπΔ.
