10. Resonance contribution in the u-channel

11. Analysis Steps Communications with B. Pire [1] Most of papers are old and based on photo-PROD [2] It is much valuable to search for difference when Q2 grows from 0 to a few GeV [3] We will be able to see for some channels a definite change on the behavior of the cross section(Q 2, u) [4] It would be interesting to see a 1/Q 8 law appearing for W min large enough, which might be interpreted as a first manifestation of scaling in the case of backward electroproduction Deep Process Working Group May.30, 2008 K.

15. Analysis Steps “We would like to stress that the Q² behavior (1/Q 8 ) of dσ/du (or equivalently of d σ/ d Ω as we discussed in our paper ) is a signature of scaling ONLY IF the SKEWEDNESS variable ξ is fixed, which means (at small Δ T 2 ) W²/Q² is fixed. Since we have W² +t+u = -Q² +2M² +mπ², at small mπ² this means at fixed (2M²-t-u)/Q². ” -B. pire “However, ….” Deep Process Working Group May.30, 2008 K. Park

We looked at the backward angle pion electroproduction in the u- channel by extracting the cross section (dσ/du) We tried to see 1/Q 8 law appearing for large W(>2GeV), which might be interpreted as a first manifestation of scaling in backward electroproduction and linked to TDA. However, … More careful studies needed in both theoretical calculation (realistic) and experimental analysis.
