Δ-Isobar contribution to the pion production in the reaction pp → {pp}sπ0

ANKE@COSY data on the cross section of the reaction pp → {pp}sπ0, where {pp}s is the proton pair in the 1S 0 state at small excitation energy Epp = 0 – 3 MeV, obtained at beam energies 0.5 - 2.0 GeV are analyzed within the one-pion exchange model. The model involves the subprocess π0 p → π0 p and ac...

Description
Summary:ANKE@COSY data on the cross section of the reaction pp → {pp}sπ0, where {pp}s is the proton pair in the 1S 0 state at small excitation energy Epp = 0 – 3 MeV, obtained at beam energies 0.5 - 2.0 GeV are analyzed within the one-pion exchange model. The model involves the subprocess π0 p → π0 p and accounts for the final state pp-interaction. A broad maximum observed in the cross section of the reaction pp → {pp}sπ0 at 0.5 - 1.4 GeV in the forward direction is explained by this model as a dominant contribution of the isospin 32$\cfrac{3}{2}$ in the π0 p-scattering. The second bump in data at 2 GeV is underpredicted within this model by one order of magnitude. An explicit excitation of the Δ(1232)-isobar using the box-diagram is also considered in the region of the first maximum.
