  1. Study of inelastic ap- and dp- scattering in Roper resonance region A.N.Prokofyev Petersburg Nuclear Physics Institute and SPES4-p Collaboration A. N. Prokofyev, PNPI

  2. Inelastic ap- and dp-scattering reactions were studied in the energy region of Roper resonance excitation. Due to the spin and isospin conservation there are only two dominant channels which are open for this reaction: D production at the projectile and N* production at the target. A simultaneous registration of the scattered projectile and the secondaries allowed to separate one- and two pions decay of the intermediate state and pick out the 2p channel, which is exclusively connected with the N* baryon intermediate state. • The shape of the obtained 2p invariant mass spectra was compared with the Oset-Fernandez calculation predictions. It was found that the decay of N* is predominantly going through the spin-isospin scalar state (s). The contribution of the decay through intermediate D (N* - pD - ppN) is small. • The experiment was carried out at a- and d-beams of the Saturne-II accelerator (Saclay). The scattered particles were registered using the SPES4 high resolution spectrometer (projectiles) and wide aperture Forward spectrometer (secondary protons nad pions). A. N. Prokofyev, PNPI

  17. SUMMARY • The ap and dp inelastic scattering reactions were exclusively studied in the energy transfer region corresponded to the Roper resonance excitation region. • The registration of the scattered projectiles, as well as the charged secondaries allowed to separate different final states, connected with one and two pions production. • The data in a region, where the Roper resonance production was expected, demonstrate the dominance of the two pion decay of the intermediate N* state . This can be interpreted as the N* (1440 MeV) baryon production. The next possible baryon state D13(1520 Mev) does not fit the data. • The comparison of the invariant M mass spectra with the theory predictions demonstrates the dominance of the N* decay through the spin, isospin scalar state (s). The contribution of the decay through the Delta resonance is small. This result is in agreement with the data obtained in pp inelastic scattering study at Uppsala. A. N. Prokofyev, PNPI
