    Exclusive 16O(γ,π-p) reaction in the Δ resonance region
    (1992-08) Pham, L.D.; Høibråten, S.; Redwine, R.P.; Tieger, D.R.; van der Steenhoven, G.; Wilson, K.E.; Yuly, M.E.; Federspiel, F.J.; Eisenstein, R.A.; Nathan, A.M.; Wood, S.A.; Beise, E.J.
    We report the first exclusive (γ,π-p) measurements on a complex nucleus. The 16O(γ,π-p) reaction was measured at pion laboratory angles of 64° and 120°. Coincident protons were detected over the quasifree angular correlation range using a vertical array of seven plastic scintillator detectors spanning ±33° about the scattering plane. The cross sections are compared to factorized distorted-wave impulse approximation calculations; these provide a good description of the backward angle data, but are in serious disagreement with the forward angle data.

    Determination of the Charged Pion Form Factor at Q2=1.60 and 2.45 (GeV/c)2
    (2006-11) Horn, T.; Aniol, K.; Arrington, J.; Barrett, B.; Beise, E.J.; Blok, H.P.; Boeglin, W.; Brash, E.J.; Breuer, H.; Chang, C.C.; Christy, M.E.; Ent, R.; Gaskell, D.; Gibson, E.; Holt, R.J.; Huber, G.M.; Jin, S.; Jones, M.K.; Keppel, C.E.; Kim, W.; King, P.M.; Kovaltchouk, V.; Liu, J.; Lolos, G.J.; Mack, D.J.; Margaziotis, D.J.; Markowitz, P.; Matsumura, A.; Meekins, D.; Miyoshi, T.; Mkrtchyan, H.; Niculescu, I.; Okayasu, Y.; Pentchev, L.; Perdrisat, C.; Potterveld, D.; Punjabi, V.; Reimer, P.; Reinhold, J.; Roche, J.; Roos, P.G.; Sarty, A.; Smith, G.R.; Tadevosyan, V.; Tang, L.G.; Tvaskis, V.; Vidakovic, S.; Volmer, J.; Vulcan, W.; Warren, G.; Wood, S.A.; Xu, C.; Zheng, X.; The Jefferson Lab Fπ-2 Collaboration
    The 1H(e,e′π+)n cross section was measured at four-momentum transfers of Q2=1.60 and 2.45 GeV2 at an invariant mass of the photon nucleon system of W =2.22 GeV. The charged pion form factor (Fπ) was extracted from the data by comparing the separated longitudinal pion electropro- duction cross section to a Regge model prediction in which Fπ is a free parameter. The results indicate that the pion form factor deviates from the charge-radius constrained monopole form at these values of Q2 by one sigma, but is still far from its perturbative Quantum Chromo-Dynamics prediction.
