Abstract
We report measurements of the photon beam asymmetry $\mathrm{\ensuremath{\Sigma}}$ for the reactions $\stackrel{P\vec}{\ensuremath{\gamma}}p\ensuremath{\rightarrow}p{\ensuremath{\pi}}^{0}$ and $\stackrel{P\vec}{\ensuremath{\gamma}}p\ensuremath{\rightarrow}p\ensuremath{\eta}$ from the GlueX experiment using a 9 GeV linearly polarized, tagged photon beam incident on a liquid hydrogen target in Jefferson Lab's Hall D. The asymmetries, measured as a function of the proton momentum transfer, possess greater precision than previous ${\ensuremath{\pi}}^{0}$ measurements and are the first $\ensuremath{\eta}$ measurements in this energy regime. The results are compared with theoretical predictions based on $t$-channel, quasiparticle exchange and constrain the axial-vector component of the neutral meson production mechanism in these models.
