Abstract

We have measured the cross sections at 90° c.m. for

π^{\pm}

and

π^{0}

photoproduction with polarized photons. The photon energies ranged from 0.8 to 2.2 GeV. We compare the resonant "bumps" in the cross section with theoretical models. The measured asymmetry agrees with a quark-model calculation though the predicted cross sections are low.
