Real and Virtual Compton Scattering in a Regge Approach
We study Real and Deeply Virtual Compton Scattering in a model based on Regge
trajectories and two-gluon exchange. In the kinematic regime of current
experiments, the hadronic component of the outgoing real photon plays a major
role. We analyze the spin structure of Compton scattering at large momentum
transfer and give predictions for several spin asymmetries. In the DVCS
channel, a fairly good agreement is obtained for the recently measured beam
spin and charge asymmetries.Comment: 12 pages; 6 figures This revised version corrects a mumerical mistake
in the evaluation of the conversion factor between vector mesons and Compton
amplitudes. Also, more details are given on the parameters of the sigma meson

Quark correlations and gluon propagators in elastic vector meson production
We study the behavior of the differential cross section for vector meson
photoproduction at large momentum transfer in the two-gluon exchange model. We
focus on the treatment of two-quark correlation function in the proton and on
gluon propagators with a dynamically generated mass. We find that only the
large t region is sensitive to the particular details of these inputs.Comment: 4 pages, 2 figures, espcrc1.sty included, Proceedings of the Third

Quasifree pion photoproduction on the deuteron in the region
Photo production of pions on the deuteron is studied in the spectator nucleon
model. The Born terms of the elementary production amplitude are determined in
pseudovector N coupling and supplied with a form factor. The
resonance is considered both in the and the channel. The parameters of
the resonance and the cutoff of the form factors are fixed on the
leading photoproduction multipoles. Results for total and differential cross
sections are compared with experimental data. Particular attention is paid to
the role of Pauli correlations of the final state nucleons in the quasifree
case. The results are compared with those for pion photoproduction on the
nucleon.Comment: 17 pages LateX2e including 5 postscript figure
Structural Analysis and Photocurrent Spectroscopy of CCCs on 99.99% Aluminum
A characterization of chromate conversion coatings (CCCs) formed in the presence and in the absence of accelerator (ferro-ferricyanide redox couple) has been performed by various techniques (transmission electron microscopy, TEM, glow discharge optical emission spectrometry, GDOES, X-ray absorption near-end structure, XANES, and photon correlation spectroscopy). The results of a detailed investigation on morphological, compositional, and solid-state properties of freshly converted aluminum samples at different immersion times (30 s-90 min) are reported. The TEM and GDOES data suggest the presence of iron-cyanide species only in the external layer of CCC of nearly constant thickness. The XANES data suggest the presence of both Cr(VI) and Cr(III) species with a ratio Cr(VI)/Cr(III) close to 1:2. This ratio remains constant with the conversion time and seems slightly affected by the composition of conversion solution. The photoelectrochemical study suggests an insulating or slightly p-type behavior for CCC layers. A bandgap value of about 2.55 eV has been estimated, regardless of the conversion solution, although some differences in the photocurrent spectra have been observed for coatings formed in the presence or absence of accelerator. The location of electronic energy levels of the Al/CCC/electrolyte interface has been derived which could account for the different kinetics of coating formation in the presence of accelerator
Exclusive electromagnetic production of strangeness on the nucleon : review of recent data in a Regge approach
In view of the numerous experimental results recently released, we provide in
this letter an update on the performance of our simple Regge model for
strangeness electroproduction on the nucleon. Without refitting any parameters,
a decent description of all measured observables and channels is achieved. We
also give predictions for spin transfer observables, recently measured at
Jefferson Lab which have high sensitivity to discriminate between different
theoretical approaches.Comment: 5 pages, 5 figure
Multipole analysis of spin observables in vector meson photoproduction
A multipole analysis of vector meson photoproduction is formulated as a
generalization of the pseudoscalar meson case. Expansion of spin observables in
the multipole basis and behavior of these observables near threshold and
resonances are examined.Comment: 15 pages, latex, 2 figure
Quasifree Pion Electroproduction from Nuclei in the Region
We present calculations of the reaction in the
distorted wave impulse approximation. The reaction allows for the study of the
production process in the nuclear medium without being obscured by the details
of nuclear transition densities. First, a pion electroproduction operator
suitable for nuclear calculations is obtained by extending the Blomqvist-Laget
photoproduction operator to the virtual photon case. The operator is gauge
invariant, unitary, reference frame independent, and describes the existing
data reasonably well. Then it is applied in nuclei to predict nuclear cross
sections under a variety of kinematic arrangements. Issues such as the effects
of gauge-fixing, the interference of the resonance with the
background, sensitivities to the quadrupole component of the
excitation and to the electromagnetic form factors, the role of final-state
interactions, are studied in detail. Methods on how to experimentally separate
the various pieces in the coincidence cross section are suggested. Finally, the
model is compared to a recent SLAC experiment.Comment: 27 pages in REVTEX, plus 22 PS figures embedded using psfig.sty

Quasi-free Photoproduction from the Bound Nucleon
Differential cross-sections for quasi-free photoproduction from the
proton and neutron bound in the deuteron have been measured for MeV at usind the Glasgow photon
tagger at MAMI, the Mainz 48 cm 64 cm NaI(Tl) photon
detector and the G\"ottingen SENECA recoil detector. For the proton
measurements made with both liquid deuterium and liquid hydrogen targets allow
direct comparison of "free" photoproduction cross-sections as extracted
from the bound proton data with experimental free cross sections which are
found to be in reasonable agreement below 320 MeV. At higher energies the
"free" cross sections extracted from quasifree data are significantly smaller
than the experimental free cross sections and theoretical predictions based on
multipole analysis. For the first time, "free" neutron cross sections have been
extracted in the -region. They are also in agreement with the
predictions from multipole analysis up to 320 MeV and significantly smaller at
higher photon energies
The Luminosity Function of M3
We present a high precision, large sample luminosity function (LF) for the
Galactic globular cluster M3. With a combination of ground based and Hubble
Space Telescope data we cover the entire radial extent of the cluster. The
observed LF is well fit by canonical standard stellar models from the red giant
branch (RGB) tip to below the main sequence turnoff point. Specifically,
neither the RGB LF-bump nor subgiant branch LF indicate any breakdown in the
standard models. On the main sequence we find evidence for a flat initial mass
function and for mass segregation due to the dynamical evolution of the
cluster.Comment: 18 pages, 13 figures. ApJ, in pres
