Results of proton target • Peak structure around 2GeV. • Natural parity exchange is dominant → 0+ glueball ? T. Mibe, et al
Interest of Deuteron target • Coherent production • Interact with deuteron itself. • Incoherent production • Interact with proton or neutron in deuteron.
Coherent production • Deuteron is isoscalar target • π exchange is strongly suppressed • Very steeper t-slope in differential cross section dσ/dt . • There are no coherent production data near the production threshold. • Really exist? • If coherent process is truly exist, which mechanism is dominant ?
Incoherent production • Due to isospin effect, • gπnn and gηnn has opposite sign. →unnatural parity exchange process is suppressed in neutron case. • Information of unnatural (π/η) exchange process
Experiment at Spring-8 • 8GeV electron storage ring • Harima Hyogo
BCS photon beam • LEPS (Laser Electron Photon at Spring-8) • Backward Compton scattered photon beam → 2.4GeV maximum energy → high polarization photon > 90%
