Why measure p(,n’
• Independent test of theoretical treatment of reaction amplitudes and rescattering effects in radiative photoproduction
• radiated from + lines (rather than proton lines as in p0’) – brem production has different strength/angular behaviour
• Give additional sensitivity to MDM?

Theoretical predictions p(,n+’)
• Predictions presently available in unitary model (and EFT presently in development)
Main features:
1) Cross sections ~5x larger than p(,p0’) 2) Linear asymmetries large and positive3) Sensitivity to MDM marginal (in sampled kinematics)4) But helicity asymmetry shows promise as complimentary determination of MDM

Summary
• We see a promisingly clean p(,n+’) signal
• Extracted linear polarisation observables will give important constraints on the theoretical modelling of radiative pion photoproduction
• Helicity asymmetry may show promising additional route to gain sensitivity to MDM - future dedicated beamtime ?
• Need to pass theoretical predictions through detector acceptance before publication (Unitary, CEFT?)

Conclusions
●+ p → n + + events identified
● Energy tagged + events indicate CB gives reasonable energy signal
● MWPC software now implemented – further studies
● Develop improved shower shape algorithm which exploits correlation of energy deposits and shape in pion induced shower.
● Look at sampling after pulse - see time dependence of positron decays?

Summary
● Simultaneous measurement of np+g' with pp0g' improves confidence in model dependent extraction of mD+
● Measurement requires no extra beam time
● Establishing p+ detection capabilities of CB - opens perspectives for other future measurements
