Abstract: (APS)
Stichel's theorem relating the state of linearly polarized photons and spin-parity of t-channel exchanges in pion photoproduction is reexamined and generalized. For two specific initial and final nucleon polarization configurations, an exact theorem valid for all photon energies is proved.
