MEASUREMENT OF THE DOUBLE POLARIZATION OBSERVABLE E IN π0 AND η PHOTOPRODUCTION OFF PROTONS WITH THE CBELSA/TAPS EXPERIMENT

Double polarization experiments using a longitudinally or transversely polarized frozen-spin-butanol target and a linearly or circularly polarized photon beam were performed with the CBELSA/TAPS experiment at the electron accelerator ELSA. With its nearly 4π angular coverage, this setup is very well suited to study neutral meson photoproduction off the nucleon up to beam energies of 3.2 GeV. Results obtained for the double polarization observable E in neutral pion and eta photoproduction show the large sensitivity of the data on the contributing resonances. If the data are compared to the predictions of state of the art partial wave analyses, large discrepancies are observed.
