Ratios of helicity amplitudes for exclusive ρ0 electroproduction

Ratios of helicity amplitudes for exclusive ρ0 electroproduction

Abstract Exclusive ρ 0-meson electroproduction is studied in the HERMES experiment, using a 27.6 GeV longitudinally polarized electron/positron beam and unpolarized hydrogen and deuterium targets in the kinematic region 0.5 GeV2<Q 2<7.0 GeV2, 3.0 GeV <W<6.3 GeV, and −t′<0.4 GeV2. Real...

Description
Summary:Abstract Exclusive ρ 0-meson electroproduction is studied in the HERMES experiment, using a 27.6 GeV longitudinally polarized electron/positron beam and unpolarized hydrogen and deuterium targets in the kinematic region 0.5 GeV2<Q 2<7.0 GeV2, 3.0 GeV <W<6.3 GeV, and −t′<0.4 GeV2. Real and imaginary parts of the ratios of the natural-parity-exchange helicity amplitudes T 11 ( $\gamma^{*}_{T} \rightarrow\rho_{T}$ ), T 01 ( $\gamma^{*}_{T} \rightarrow \rho_{L}$ ), T 10 ( $\gamma^{*}_{L} \rightarrow\rho_{T}$ ), and T 1−1 ( $\gamma^{*}_{-T} \rightarrow\rho_{T}$ ) to T 00 ( $\gamma^{*}_{L}\rightarrow\rho_{L}$ ) are extracted from the data. For the unnatural-parity-exchange amplitude U 11, the ratio |U 11/T 00| is obtained. The Q 2 and t′ dependences of these ratios are presented and compared with perturbative QCD predictions.
