Abstract:
The role of the nucleon resonances (NN^*) in ω\omega photoproduction is investigated by using the resonance parameters predicted by Capstick and Roberts [Phys. Rev. D {\bf 46}, 2864 (1992); {\bf 49}, 4570 (1994)]. In contrast with the previous investigations based on the SU(6)×O(3){SU}(6) \times {O}(3) limit of the constituent quark model, the employed NγNN^* \to \gamma N and NωNN^* \to \omega N amplitudes include the configuration mixing effects due to the residual quark-quark interactions. The contributions from the nucleon resonances are found to be significant relative to the non-resonant amplitudes in changing the differential cross sections at large scattering angles and various spin observables. In particular, we suggest that a crucial test of our predictions can be made by measuring the parity asymmetry and beam-target double asymmetry at forward scattering angles.
