Measurement of theH1(γ, π0)cross section near threshold

Abstract
The cross section for the reaction H1(γ, π0) has been measured using tagged photons in the threshold region (144.7-169.3 MeV). The total cross section, augmented by angular distribution information, is used to deduce the S-wave multipole E0+. Extrapolation to threshold yields E0+=(1.32±0.05±0.06)×103/mπ, in disagreement with earlier estimates. Suppression of E0+ near the π+ threshold is confirmed, in approximate agreement with recent calculations.
