Title A precision measurement of the p(e,e'p)pi^0 reaction at threshold
Abstract New results are reported from an experiment to measure ?0 electroproduction at and above threshold using the p(e,e'p)pi^0 reaction. The experiment was designed to precisely determine the energy dependence of s- and p-wave electromagnetic multipoles as a stringent test of the predictions of Chiral Perturbation Theory (ChPT). The data were taken with an electron beam energy of 1192 MeV using a two-spectrometer setup in Hall A at Jefferson Lab. For the first time, complete coverage of the phi*_pi and theta*_pi angles in the ppi^0 center-of-mass was obtained for invariant energies above threshold from 0.5~MeV up to 15~MeV. The 4-momentum transfer Q2 coverage ranges from 0.05 to 0.155 (GeV/c)2 in fine steps. A simple phenomenological analysis of our data shows strong disagreement with p?wave predictions from ChPT for Q2>0.07 (GeV/c)2, while the s-wave predictions are in reasonable agreement.
