Abstract

Abstract Coherent pion photoproduction on the deuteron in the Δ resonance region is calculated adopting a nonrelativistic model based on time-ordered perturbation theory without rescattering. Results for cross sections and polarization observables corresponding to the polarized photon beam and/or the deuteron target are presented for which the influence of the nonresonant Born amplitudes and the sensitivity to several multipoles of the elementary photoproduction on the nucleon are studied in detail. Furthermore, the role of a two-body mechanism where photon absorption and pion emission take place at different nucleons is discussed.
