A Study of Photoproduction of Vector Mesons on Deuterium by 5.5 GeV Linearly Polarized Photons

摘要

We present here the experimental results of a deuterium bubble chamber photoproduction study of half a million pictures at 5.5 GeV. This experiment has been performed using a energetic and linearly polarized photon beam facility at SLAC. At 5.5 GeV the beam polarization is greater than 90%, and the average FWHM of the beam energy spectrum is 0.6 GEV.
