Abstract: (Physical Society of Japan)
Resonance production and decay in proton–proton collisions at kinetic beam energies of 1.25 and 3.5 GeV as well as π^− − p reactions at four different pion beam momenta (0.656, 0.69, 0.748, and 0.8 GeV/c) are investigated. Exclusive channels with one pion in the final state (npπ^+ and ppπ^0) in the pp collisions were put to extended studies based on various observables in the framework of a one-pion exchange model and with solutions obtained within the framework of a partial wave analysis (PWA) of the Bonn-Gatchina group. In the case of the 3.5 GeV data, the study of the ppe^+e^− channel gave insight on the dielectron production from N^* and Δ in the second and third resonance regions. We show that the measured dielectron invariant mass distribution cannot be explained by a point-like resonance-γ^* coupling. Comparison with various transport models unravels the ambiguities of the descriptions and the important role of the intermediate ρ production. To tackle this problem a systematic investigation focused on the role of N(1520) production and decay in pion induced reactions on polyethylene and carbon targets. First results on exclusive channels with one pion (π^−p), two pions (nπ^+π^−) and dileptons (ne^+e^−) in the final state are presented.
