Duality and neutral pion electroproduction

The implications of Duality, in the form of Finite Energy Sum Rules, are examined for the photoproduction and electroproduction of neutral pions off protons. The Collins and Fitton model of high energy pion photoproduction is extended to accommodate the features of the photo production FESH. The ana...

Description
Summary:The implications of Duality, in the form of Finite Energy Sum Rules, are examined for the photoproduction and electroproduction of neutral pions off protons. The Collins and Fitton model of high energy pion photoproduction is extended to accommodate the features of the photo production FESH. The analysis is extended to electro production and it is shown that a simple modification of the model will fit the electroproduction cross-section. The implications of this modification are discussed.
