The study of quasifree Compton scattering on the neutron in the energy range of E-gamma = 0.75-1.5 GeV is presented. The data reveal a narrow peak at W similar to 1.685 GeV. This result, being considered in conjunction with the recent evidence for a narrow structure at W similar to 1.68 GeV in eta photoproduction on the neutron, suggests the existence of a nucleon resonance with unusual properties: a mass M similar to 1.685 GeV, a narrow width Gamma <= 30 MeV, and the much stronger photoexcitation on the neutron than on the proton.

Abstract

The study of quasifree Compton scattering on the neutron in the energy range of E-gamma = 0.75-1.5 GeV is presented. The data reveal a narrow peak at W similar to 1.685 GeV. This result, being considered in conjunction with the recent evidence for a narrow structure at W similar to 1.68 GeV in eta photoproduction on the neutron, suggests the existence of a nucleon resonance with unusual properties: a mass M similar to 1.685 GeV, a narrow width Gamma <= 30 MeV, and the much stronger photoexcitation on the neutron than on the proton.
