Description

Photoproduction of mesons provides important information about the ex- citation spectrum of the nucleon that is still not suciently understood despite various long-lasting experimental and theoretical eorts [1]. Reac- tions with multiple-meson nal states are important, in particular 0 since the acts as an isospin lter and provides information on the nature of the intermediate resonances. Particular attention has been paid to the recently claimed narrow structure observed at 1685 MeV in the N channel [2]. We have studied the two-meson photoproduction with the CB/TAPS detector system at the ELSA accelerator in Bonn in the reaction p! p0. High statistics have been obtained in irradiating a liquid hydrogen target with photon beams in the incident energy range from 0.9 to 3.0 GeV. A kine- matic t has been used in the reconstruction and identication of the exit channels. Preliminary results on the search for the narrow structure at 1685 MeV will be presented. [1] V.

Photoproduction of mesons provides important information about the ex-

the acts as an isospin lter and provides information on the nature of the

claimed narrow structure observed at 1685 MeV in the N channel [2]. We
have studied the two-meson photoproduction with the CB/TAPS detector
system at the ELSA accelerator in Bonn in the reaction
