The Primakoff effect on a proton target

Abstract

Primakoff effect offers us with a way to determine the radiative decay width of pseudo-scalar mesons when they are photo-produced in the electromagnetic field of hadronic systems. Taking advantage of recent developments in the Regge description of the production of mesons in the strong hadronic field, this paper evaluates the relative importance of the electromagnetic and the strong amplitudes, and assesses the possibilities which become opened by modern experimental facilities.
