Abstract
Abstract Target asymmetry data for single positive pion photoproduction from polarized protons have been obtained at the Bonn Electron Stretcher Accelerator ELSA. Data were taken in a wide kinematical range of E γ = 215–800 MeV and Θ CMS π = 35°–135° with the PHOENICS-detector. This detector permits a considerable kinematical overdetermination so that the nominal process could be clearly separated from the background. For the first time a combination of a frozen spin target with a tagged photon beam has been used. Butanol (C 4 H 9 OH) was used as target material with a maximum proton polarization of more than ±90%. Due to the simultaneous energy and angle coverage the systematical error in the order of ΔT sys = ±2.5% is common for all data points. The results at low photon energies show significant deviations from existing multipole analyses.
