Meson production in high-energy electron-nucleus scattering

Nuclear Theory 2013-05-30 v1

Abstract

Pseudoscalar mesons can be produced and studied in high-energy electron-nucleus scattering. We review and extend our previous analysis of meson production in the nuclear Coulomb field. The PγγP\rightarrow \gamma \gamma decay rates are most directly determined for mesons produced in the double-Coulomb region where both photons are nearly real, and provided the background-hadronic contribution remains small. The larger the mass of the meson the higher the electron energy needed to assure such a condition.
