At the electron accelerator ELSA a linearly polarised tagged photon beam is produced by coherent bremsstrahlung off a diamond crystal. Orientation and energy range of the linear polarisation can be deliberately chosen by accurate positioning of the crystal with a goniometer. The degree of polarisation is determined by the form of the scattered electron spectrum. Good agreement between experiment and expectations on basis of the experimental conditions is obtained. Polarisation degrees of P = 40% are typically achieved at half of the primary electron energy. The determination of P is confirmed by measuring the beam asymmetry, \Sigma, in pi^0 photoproduction and a comparison of the results to independent measurements using laser backscattering.

The Polarized Target Asymmetry for Neutral Pion Photoproduction from Protons in the Photon Energy Range 0.7-GeV-1.45-GeV

Inspire Record 111591 DOI 10.17182/hepdata.35454

Measurements have been made of the target asymmetry parameter for photoproduction of π 0 mesons from protons, using a butanol polarised target with a 3 He cryostat. Results were obtained at 14 incident photon energies between 0.7 GeV and 1.45 GeV over an angular range ∼40° to 145° c.m. The recent analysis of Barbour and Crawford provides a very good fit to the data.

Prentice, M.N. ; Railton, R. ; Rutherglen, J.G. ; et al.
Nucl.Phys.B 41 (1972) 353-364, 1972.
Inspire Record 75162 DOI 10.17182/hepdata.32916

Measurements have been made of the polarization of the recoil proton in the process γ p → π o p for photon energies of 850 - 1250 MeV and centre-of-mass angles of 80° - 125°. The results, which are to a typical accuracy of ±0.09, show a marked disagreement with previous phenomenological analyses above 1000 MeV.
