Nucleon resonance spectroscopy via meson-pair decay* — •Mariana Nanova for the CBELSA/TAPS collaboration — II. Physikalisches Institut, Justus-Liebig-Universität Gießen

Photoproduction of mesons provides important information about the excitation spectrum of the nucleon that is still not sufficiently understood despite various long-lasting experimental and theoretical efforts [1]. Reactions with multiple-meson final states are important, in particular π⁰η since the η acts as an isospin filter and provides information on the nature of the intermediate resonances. We studied the two-meson photoproduction with the CB/TAPS detector system at the ELSA accelerator in Bonn in the reaction γp→ pπ⁰η. High statistics have been obtained in irradiating a liquid hydrogen target with photon beams in the incident energy range from 0.9 to 3.0 GeV. A kinematic fit has been used in the reconstruction and identification of the exit channels. Dalitz plots show a clear evidence for various baryon resonances populated in the decay of higher lying nucleon resonances. Preliminary results on studying a narrow resonance-like structure, claimed by other experiments, will be presented.
