Minimal complete sets for two pseudoscalar meson photoproduction

Nuclear Theory 2021-01-13 v4

Abstract

For photoproduction reactions with final states consisting of two pseudoscalar mesons and a spin-1/2 baryon, 8 complex amplitudes need to be determined uniquely. A modified version of Moravcsik's theorem is employed for these reactions, resulting in slightly over-complete sets of polarization observables that are able to determine the amplitudes uniquely. Further steps were taken to reduce the found sets to minimal complete sets. As a final result, multiple minimal complete sets without any remaining ambiguities are presented for the first time. These sets consist of 2N=162N=16 observables, containing only one triple polarization observable.
