Airapetian, A. et al. (2011) Ratios of helicity amplitudes for exclusive ρ 0 electroproduction. European Physical Journal C, 71(1609), (doi: 10.1140/epjc/s10052-011-1609-2)

Abstract

Exclusive ρ 0-meson electroproduction is studied in the HERMES experiment, using a 27.6 GeV longitudinally polarized electron/positron beam and unpolarized hydrogen and deuterium targets in the kinematic region 0.5 GeV2<Q 2<7.0 GeV2, 3.0 GeV <W<6.3 GeV, and −t′<0.4 GeV2. Real and imaginary parts of the ratios of the natural-parity-exchange helicity amplitudes T 11 ( γ∗T→ρT ), T 01 ( γ∗T→ρL ), T 10 ( γ∗L→ρT ), and T 1−1 ( γ∗−T→ρT ) to T 00 ( γ∗L→ρL ) are extracted from the data. For the unnatural-parity-exchange amplitude U 11, the ratio |U 11/T 00| is obtained. The Q 2 and t′ dependences of these ratios are presented and compared with perturbative QCD predictions.
