Charge exchange $\rho^0 \pi^+ $ photoproduction and implications for searches of exotic meson

Abstract

We analyze the process $\vec \gamma +p\to \rho^0 \pi^{+}n$ at low momentum transfer focusing on a possibility of production of an exotic $J^{PC}=1^{-+}$ meson state. In particular we discuss polarization observables and conclude that linear photon polarization is instrumental for separating of the exotic wave.
