  3. K+ (p0) g N, N*, D* p L, S0(p) Missing resonances N* and D* in s-channel • It is essential to fully characterize N* and D* to understand baryon structure. • Many nucleon resonances predicted by quark model are still not observed. • Some resonances could couple to KL or KS channel. • Many one or two star resonances, above 1700 MeV (W > 1.7 GeV). • Structures in SAPHIR / CLAS data were found, possibly connected with missing resonances like D13(1900). • Need more complete K+ data to reach the conclusion. • Polarization observables (Photon-beam asymmetry etc..) are sensitive to resonance states and model differences because of interference between states.

  4. g K+ g K+ K*, K, K1 p L, S0 L, S0, Y* p L • LEPS energy Eg = 1.5 - 2.4 GeV is in the transition region, s-channel  t-channel (forward), u-channel (backward) • Photon-beam asymmetry S at t = 0 and large Eg: natural parity exchange (K*) S = + 1 unnatural parity exchange (K, K1) S =－1 • gpKY coupling constant in the u-channel. Studies of coupled-channel analysis show non-negligible effect. Meson / hyperon exchange in t- /u-channel

  5. Laser-electron photon beam • Linearly polarized photon beam.  photon beam asymmetry. • Polarization degree is 95% (55%) at the maximum (minimum) energy. • Use horizontally ( ) and vertically ( ) polarized beam. • Energy 1.5 – 2.4 GeV, RMS=15 MeV. • Intensity 1x106 cps.

Corthals Some resonances are hidden by other resonances due to their wide widths in cross sections. Polarization observables are a good mean to extract such hidden states.

  21. Summary K+ photoproduction • Photon-beam asymmetry and differential cross sections were obtained at very forward angles, and backward angles. • Bump structure was seen around W=1960 MeV in the K+L mode as well as the CLAS/SAPHIR data. • At forward angles, we observed a forward peaking in K+L but no peaking in K+S0. • Photon asymmetry data provide further constraints for models. • Backward peaking is due to u-channel dominance. • Strong angular dependence of asymmetry reflects the contribution of higher-mass resonances at Eg > 1.9 GeV. p0 photoproduction
