Abstract: (APS)
The newly published data on spin density matrix elements from the GlueX Collaboration, along with the previously released differential cross-section data from the CLAS Collaboration and the other two experiments for the reaction, are systematically investigated using an effective Lagrangian approach within the tree-level Born approximation. The model combines contributions from -channel meson exchanges (, and ), -channel nucleon () and nucleon resonance () exchanges, -channel exchange, and a generalized contact term to construct the scattering amplitudes. Regge propagators are employed for -channel amplitudes to incorporate the contributions from mesons with various spins lying on the same trajectories. The analysis shows that the background contributions, dominated by the -trajectory exchange, provide a satisfactory description of the data in the high-energy and forward-angle regions. The inclusion of specific nucleon resonances, such as , or , significantly improves the description of the differential cross-section data at near-perpendicular scattering angles in the low-energy region. Predictions of photon beam and target nucleon asymmetries are provided, offering valuable insights to discriminate reaction mechanisms when corresponding data become available in the future.References(82)
