Abstract

We have investigated π0π0 and π±π0 photoproduction off complex nuclei. Simulations have been performed by means of a semi-classical BUU transport model including a full coupled-channel treatment of the final state interactions. We show that the target mass dependence of the π0π0 invariant mass spectrum as measured by the TAPS collaboration can be explained without introducing medium effects beyond absorption and quasi-elastic scattering of the final state particles. On the other hand, we find considerable discrepancies with the data in the π±π0 channel, which are not understood.
