摘要

A precision measurement of the differential cross sections d sigma/d Omega and the linearly polarized photon asymmetry Sigma equivalent to (d alpha(perpendicular to) - d sigma(parallel to))/(d alpha(perpendicular to) + d sigma(parallel to) for the (gamma) over right arrowp -%26gt; pi(0) p reaction in the near-threshold region has been performed with a tagged photon beam and almost 4 pi detector at the Mainz Microtron. The Glasgow-Mainz photon tagging facility along with the Crystal Ball/TAPS multiphoton detector system and a cryogenic liquid hydrogen target were used. These data allowed for a precise determination of the energy dependence of the real parts of the S- and all three P-wave amplitudes for the first time and provide the most stringent test to date of the predictions of chiral perturbation theory and its energy region of agreement with experiment.
