Extracting the f0(980) signal from the photoproduced π+ π- spectrum

We present a phenomenological analysis of the π+π- photoproduction data obtained by the CLAS collaboration at the Thomas Jefferson Laboratory. A special emphasis is put on the interference pattern observed in the moments of angular distribution for the π+π- efective masses around 1 GeV. This pattern...

description We present a phenomenological analysis of the π+π- photoproduction data obtained by the CLAS collaboration at the Thomas Jefferson Laboratory. A special emphasis is put on the interference pattern observed in the moments of angular distribution for the π+π- efective masses around 1 GeV. This pattern is attributed to the photoproduction of the scalar-isoscalar resonance f0(980). By fitting the model parameters to the data we obtain the strengths of the resonant and nonresonant parts of the S-wave photoproduction amplitude. We calculate the f0(980) photoproduction cross section which is smaller than previous estimations by a factor of about 5. A new estimation of the product of the σ meson couplings to nucleon and to the γρ system |gNNσgγρσ| is given.
