  7. Result from LEPS with proton target E1 E1 E2 ~ ρ3=0.199+/-0.052 E2 ~ ρ3=0.189+/-0.030 • Non monotonic behavior around 2GeV. • Natural parity exchange is dominant 　→　0+ glueball? Pseudo scalar meson exchange is not negligible. T. Mibe, et al. PRL95 182001(2005) Baryons’10

  8. Explore the exotic process ~ Baryons’10 • Is the bump structure candidate of the exotic process (2nd Pomeron (glueball))? • The model based on Pomeron exchange and pseudo scalar exchange failed to explain such a non-monotonic behavior. This suggests that unknown natural parity process exist. • But natural parity exchange process is comparable to pseudo scalar exchange process from the value of ρ3. • To extract the natural parity process, detailed study for pseudo scalar π-η exchange is important. Study of incoherent photo-production from deuteron is unique tool for this purpose.

  9. φ photo-production from Deuteron • Coherent production • Interact with deuteron itself. Deuteron is iso-scalar target • Iso-vector π exchange is forbidden. • Pure natural parity exchange except for η-exchange process. • Incoherent production • Interact with proton or neutron in deuteron. • Estimation the neutron contribution.

  11. Differential cross section as a function of energy and angle. Due to πη interference effect, cross section from neutron decrease as low energy and forward angle. Baryons’10

  23. Summary ~ Baryons’10 • Non monotonic structure in cross section with Eγ increase at Deuteron target. • Differential cross section for incoherent φ photo-production shows a significant reduction from free proton • Some effect other than nuclear density is necessary. • Reduction is significant independent with coherent exclusion cut and Eγeff estimation. • From analysis for exclusive KKp event, • Reduction is not only neutron but also proton in deuteron. • π-η interference is small. • Decay asymmetry ρ3 is similar with free proton one • ηexchange component is weak. • Bump like structure around Eγ= 2GeV for γ+p→φ+p →Anothernatural parity process candidate to cancel out the increasing pseudo-scalarπ. • More statistic and new data is ready. • 2006~7 about 3 times event for proton and deuteron target. • 2009 ~10 maximum ~2.9GeV photon beam for proton. • detail analysis and extrapolate the energy region.
