We report an experimental study of the ..sigma.., T, and P parameters of the cross section for the reaction ..gamma..p..-->..p..pi..° for photon energies 300, 320, 350, 380, 400, 420 MeV in the range of pion emission angles 60--135° c.m.s. The technique of a double polarization experiment with use of linearly polarized photons and a polarized proton target is described. The experimental results
