Spin-observables in pseudoscalar meson photoproduction is discussed. This work is complementary to the earlier works on this topic. Here, the reaction amplitude is expressed in Pauli-spin basis which allows to calculate all the observables straightforwardly. We make use of the fact that the underlying reflection symmetry about the reaction plane can be most conveniently and easily exploited in this basis to help finding the non-vanishing and independent observables in this reaction. The important issue of complete experiments is reviewed. By expressing the reaction amplitude in Pauli-spin basis, many sets of eight observables - distinct from those found in earlier works from the amplitude in transversity basis - capable of determining the reaction amplitude up to an overall phase are found. It is also shown that some of the combinations of the spin observables are suited for studying certain aspects of the reaction dynamics. We, then, carry out a (strictly) model-independent partial-wave analysis, in particular, of the peculiar angular behavior of the beam asymmetry observed in eta photoproduction very close to threshold [P. Levi Sandri et al. 2015 Eur. Phys. J. A 51, 77]. This work should be useful, especially, for newcomers in the field of baryon spectroscopy, where the photoproduction reactions are a major tool for probing the baryon spectra.
Pseudoscalar-meson photoproduction is characterized by four complex reaction amplitudes. A complete set is a minimum theoretical set of observables that allow to determine these amplitudes unambiguously. It is studied whether complete sets remain com
By exploiting the underlying symmetries of the relative phases of the pseudoscalar meson photoproduction amplitude, we determine all the possible sets of four double-spin observables that resolve the phase ambiguity of the amplitude in transversity b
[Background] A complete set is a minimum set of observables which allows one to determine the underlying reaction amplitudes unambiguously. Pseudoscalar-meson photoproduction from the nucleon is characterized by four such amplitudes and complete sets
Amplitude and partial wave analyses for pion, eta or kaon photoproduction are discussed in the context of `complete experiments. It is shown that the model-independent helicity amplitudes obtained from at least 8 polarization observables including be
To learn about a physical system of interest, experimental results must be able to discriminate among models. We introduce a geometrical measure to quantify the distance between models for pseudoscalar-meson photoproduction in amplitude space. Experi
