Abstract

Incoherent photoproduction of pions on the deuteron in the first resonance region is investigated with special emphasis on single-spin asymmetries. For the elementary pion production operator an effective Lagrangian model which includes the standard pseudovector Born terms and a resonance contribution from the Δ(1232)-excitation is used. Single-spin asymmetries, both for charged and neutral pion photoproduction on the deuteron, are analyzed and calculated in the first resonance region. The linear photon asymmetry Σ, vector target asymmetry T 11 and tensor target asymmetries T 20, T 21, and T 22 for the reaction d( γ, π) NN with polarized photon beam and/or oriented deuteron target are predicted for forthcoming experiments.
