Abstract

The helicity dependence of the gamma p to p eta reaction has been measured for the first time at a center-of-mass angle theta /sub eta //sup */=70 degrees in the photon energy range from 780 MeV to 790 MeV. The experiment, performed at the Mainz microtron MAMI, used a 4 pi -detector system, a circularly polarized, tagged photon beam, and a longitudinally polarized frozen-spin target. The helicity 3/2 cross-section is found to be small and the results for helicity 1/2 agree with predictions from the MAID analysis.
