Pion-Photon Reaction in Pion-Nucleus Scattering at COMPASS — •Markus Krämer — Technische Universtität München, Garching, Germany

COMPASS is a fixed-target experiment at CERN, which uses muon and hadron beams produced at the SPS to address a wide variety of physics topics. An important aspect of the scientific program of COMPASS is the study of pion-photon interaction, which are accessible through the Primakoff reaction. In 2009 a two-weeks long period of data recording was dedicated for this study. Among the studied final states are exclusive π⁻π⁰π⁰ events, which are analyzed to measure the cross section of radiative processes. For this purpose the contribution of radiative and strong processes are determined through a partial-wave decomposition.
