The omega production in nucleon-nucleon collisions is described through the decay of intermediate nuclear resonances. Close to threshold the pp --> pp omega cross section is dominated by the off-shell production of omega mesons with masses far below the physical omega mass of 782 MeV. A crucial role plays thereby the N^*(1535) resonance. Due to a strong N omega decay mode this resonance leads to off-shell contributions which are in the vicinity of the threshold about one order of magnitude larger than the experimentally measurable contribution from only the omega peak. After a subtraction of the theoretical "background" from off-shell omega production the available data are accurately reproduced over the entire energy range from very close to threshold up to several GeV above threshold. The scenario of a weaker N^*(1535) --> N omega decay mode which is still consistent with electro- and photo-production data is discussed as well. In the latter case the off-shell contributions to the pp --> pp omega cross section are substantially reduced but the description of the experimental cross section is poor above threshold.

  1. Electromagnetic nucleon form factors in the extended vector meson dominance model

    hep-ph 2024-12 conditional novelty 4.0 of 10

    A six-parameter extended vector meson dominance model with four rho/omega radial excitations per channel is fitted to world data on nucleon form factors, giving a moderate but physically constrained description.
