  3. Physics Motivation L*(1520) production mechanism is still poorly understood due to the lack of experimental data Existing data from photo- and electro-production suggest dominance of t-channel processes and in particular of K* exchange Several model predictions for total and differential cross section available J. M. Laget V. Yu. Grishina et al. L. Roca et al. S. Nam et al. ... Precise measurement of cross section and decay angular distribution can provide constraints on model prediction and insight on strangeness production g K+ ? L* p

  4. Existing data Photoproduction • Photoproduction measurement on Proton were performed at SLAC and Daresbury • Daresbury measured differential, total cross section and decay angular distribution in the energy range 2.8-4.8 GeV • First look at the decay angular distribution showed dominance of mz=±3/2 spin projection • Limited statistics • No data on production on Neutron yet

  5. Theoretical result S. Nam et al. Phy.Rev.D 71,114012 (2005)

  6. Existing data Electroproduction • Electroproduction of L* has been studied at DESY and CLAS • CLAS data (S. Barrow, e1c) showed • Dominance of t-channel process confirmed • Decay angular distribution showed significant contribution from mz=±1/2 spin projection
