Abstract

The quasi-Δ33 doorway state model, previously developed to describe pion-nucleus scattering,[1] is applied to the study of coherent π° photoproduction on nuclei. The unifying features of this approach for pion elastic scattering and photoproduction are briefly discussed. The relationship to W. Weise's isobar-hole model calculations and plane wave impulse approximation calculations are examined. The results are presented for 16O(γ,π°)16O and 12C(γ,π°)12C and compared with the available experimental data. It has a large suppression of cross section from the impulse approximation prediction.
