THE FORMATION OF SINGLE MESONS BY GAMMA KUAHTA

L^ brief digest of the above report follows_7
The authors calculate the differential effective cross section of the
formation of charged mesons by gamma quanta in the nucleons. The calcu-
lations are carried out for scalar, pseudoscalar, and vector (with tensor
bond) theories. The angular distributions of the mesons generated are
graphed.
The formation of mesons by photons was investigated by A. Sakharov (Zhur
Eksper Teor Piz, Vol 17, p 686, 1947), by Benoist-Guental, Prentki, and
Ratier (Comptes Rendus, 1950), and by Foldy (Phy Rev, 1949). In these works,
however, they did not pay sufficient attention to the angular distribution of
the mesons formed, which is of well-known interest in connection with the
experimental works of Steinberger and Bishop (Phy Rev, 195,0), since the calcu-
lations were conducted only according to the scalar and pseudoscalar theories.
The authors of the present article calculate also according to the vector
theory.-
To clarify the nature of-the an gar distribution of mesons for practical
regions of energies of gamma quanta (several 100Es Mev) one can with sufficient,
accuracy consider the nucleons.as nonrelativistic particles. Therefore, it is'
expedient, in the Hamiltonian described in the relativistic form for a system
consisting of a nucleon in-electromagnetic and mesonic fields, as done.by
Bhabha (Proc Roy Soc, 1938) and"Wentzel (Rev Mod Phy, 1947); to make a tran-
sition to-Pauli's approximation for the nucleon (mesons, of course, are con-
sidered as relativistic particles). As a result of this transition; one
obtains' certain expressions for the interaction of nucleons with the meson
field, namely, the (a) scalar variant, (b) pseudoscalar variant (in the,ca4 of
gradient bond), asd (c) vector variant.

After a lengthy mathematical treatment the authors obtain the differential
cross sections as a function of the angle for these three types.
The authors thank M. A. Markov, who proposed to them this topic, for his
aid in its execution. They also thank G. I. ICharlamova for her assistance in
the numerical work.
