The photoproduction process of neutral kaons on a liquid deuterium target is investigated near the threshold region, Egamma = 0.8-1.1 GeV. K0 events are reconstructed from positive and negative pions, and differential cross sections are derived. Experimental momentum spectra are compared with those calculated in the spectator model using a realistic deuteron wave function. Elementary amplitudes as given by recent isobar models and a simple phenomenological model are used to study the effect of the new data on the angular behavior of the elementary cross section. The data favor a backward-peaked angular distribution of the elementary n(gamma,K0)Lambda process, which provides additional constraints on current models of kaon photoproduction. The present study demonstrates that the n(gamma,K0)Lambda reaction can provide key information on the mechanism of the photoproduction of strangeness.

Threshold enhancement in eta photoproduction from 2H and 4He

The photoproduction of eta-mesons from 2H and 4He has been studied for energies close to the production thresholds. The experiments were carried out with the tagged photon beam of the Mainz MAMI accelerator. The eta-mesons were detected via their two photon decays with the electromagnetic calorimeter TAPS. Total cross sections, angular and momentum distributions of the eta-mesons have been determined for both reactions. The total cross sections in the threshold region show a large enhancement over the predictions of a participant - spectator model, indicating significant final state interaction effects. The results are compared to recent model calculations taking into account nucleon-nucleon and nucleon-eta final state interaction effects on different levels of sophistication.

The ($\gamma$, $p$) Reaction on Light Nuclei in the $\Delta(1232)$ Resonance Region

Homma, S. ; Kanazawa, M. ; Koike, M. ; et al.
Phys.Rev.Lett. 53 (1984) 2536, 1984.

Momentum spectra of protons from the (γ, p) reaction have been measured at θp=30° for H1, H2, He4, Be9, C12, and O16 with a tagged photon beam with energies from 187 to 427 MeV. By analysis of these inclusive proton spectra, cross sections for the pion photoproduction from the quasifree nucleon in the target nucleus and those for the photodisintegration of the quasifree two-nucleon system have been obtained as a function of the photon energy and of the target mass number.
