What is a complete experiment? a set of polarization observables which allow us to exactly predict all other possible experiments (if experimental errors are neglected) in pion nucleon scattering: 4 observables are possible 4 are needed for a complete experiment 0 can be predicted in pion photoproduction: 16observables are possible 8are needed (at least) for a complete experiment 8can be predicted in pion electroproduction: 36observables are possible 12 are needed (at least) for a complete experiment 24 can be predicted

16 Polarization Observables in Pion Photoproduction

for  and  one can only measure the transverse recoil polarization in the lab frame and transformation into the cm frame is not possible for  one gets it for free from the weak hyperon decays

frames used for recoil polarization

J.J. Kelly et al., Phys. Rev. C 75, (2007) and arXiv:nucl-ex/ also used by Dey et al. for their „longitudinal basis“ most common „helicity basis“ however oriented along the pion don‘t miss the preprint „classical“ recoil polarization bases

recoil polarization bases for a new convention, the better choices were 3 or 6

Summary   We have studied the possibilities to obtain a model independent PWA for   from a Complete Experiment, which requires at least 8 different polarization observables, using beam, target and recoil polarization Such experiments are currently starting at Mainz, Bonn and JLab. We used pseudo data from Monte-Carlo event simulations using MAID a true model independent amplitude analysis From this experiment we can get a true model independent amplitude analysis but these amplitudes do not give us the desired partial waves because of the missing overall phase  Therefore we do a truncated partial wave analysis directly from the data

Conclusions 1.in the Watson region, W 1 can be taken from Born terms all unitary phases are fixed to  N by Watson‘s theorem such an analysis requires only 2 observables d  d   and  (R. 1997) 2.above the Watson region 1.3 GeV < W < 1.8 GeV, S,P,D and F waves needed, (+ G waves for W = 2 GeV) with an overcomplete set of 12 observables everything works very well, already with sets of 6-8 observables without recoil polarization we get very good results 3.this looks very encouraging for an unconstrained model independent PWA with real experimental data - coming soon
