Dear Forum,
I am trying to learn more about the electroproduction of rho meson off proton.
e + p -> e + p + rho
One of the commonly used kinematic variable is tprime, defined as t-tmin.
The definition I could find for tmin is that it is the minimal value of t kinematically
necessary to put rho and proton system on shell.
However I still do not know how it is calculated and what does 'putting the system
on shell' mean. More explanation will be greatly appreciated. Thanks for any response
you might have.
