  18. Photon-Beam Asymmetry • If the dominant contributions are from t-channel K and K* exchange, they can be further distinguished by photon-beam asymmetry using linearly polarized photon beam. • A=(perp-para)/ (perp+para) • If A is negative (positive), the interaction is dominated by the electric (magnetic) component induced by K (K*) exchange.

  24. Toki, Garcia-Recio and Nieves, PRD, 77, 034001 (2008) • The chiral unitary model predicts a small coupling between Λ(1520) and NK*. Main contribution comes from the K exchange process QNP2009

  28. Importance of Contact Term A. Hosaka, Workshop of “Challenge to New Exotic Hadrons with Heavy Quarks”. QNP2009

  29. Isospin Asymmetry in + Production QNP2009

  30. Cross Sections: gn K+S*- K. Hicks et al. (LEPS Collaboration), PRL 102, 012501 (2009) • Calculations are from Oh, Ko & Nakayama, averaged over the bin size shown. • Cross sections are only measured at forward angles: complementary to the CLAS data. QNP2009

  31. Beam Polarization Dependence gn K+S*- gn K+S- Due to statistics, only three bins in beam energy (1.5-1.8, 1.8-2.1, 2.1-2.4 GeV) were used for the beam asymmetry fits. The K+S- final state (left), shows the opposite sign for the beam asymmetry when compared with the K+S*- final state (right). QNP2009

  32. Beam Asymmetries Present results (solid points) compared with previously published data (open points) from Kohri et al. (PRL, 2006) Curve (Oh, Ko, Nakanyama) assumes 3-quark structure to the S*. A 5-quark component would have asymmetry of -1 (model of B. Zou). QNP2009

  35. K*+ and K*0 Beam Asymmetry Large sensitivity to the kappa meson for linear polarization. QNP2009

  36. Experimental status of Q+ Searches • Not seen in the most of the high energy experiments: The production rate of Q+/L(1520) is less than 1%. • No signal seen in CLAS gp, KEK-PS (K+,p+) experiments. • The width must be less than 1 MeV. (DIANA and KEK-B). • LEPS could be inconsistent with CLAS gd experiment. • Production rate depends on reaction mechanism. • K* coupling should be VERY small. • K coupling should be small. • Strong angle or energy dependence. QNP2009

  37. Differences: LEPS and CLAS for gn  K-Q+ LEPS Good forward angle coverage Poor wide angle coverage 1.5 – 2.4 GeV photons Symmetric acceptance for K+ and K- MKK>1.04 GeV/c2 Select quasi-free process CLAS Poor forward angle coverage Good wide angle coverage 1.0 – 3.5 GeV photons Asymmetric acceptance MKK > 1.07 GeV/c2 Require re-scattering or large Fermi momentum of a spectator ~ K- coverage: LEPS: qLAB < 20 degree CLAS: qLAB > 20 degree QNP2009

Minimum Momentum Spectator Approximation (MMSA) detected K- tagged Spectator nucleon K+ pCM γ vpn d at rest - pCM p n Nucleon from decay or scattering We know 4 momentum of pn system Mpn and ptot |pCM|and vpn Direction of pCM is assumed so that the spectator can have the minimum momentum for given |pCM| and vCM. QNP2009

  39. Double-role of MMSA Clean-up Estimation of pF quasi-free coherent inelastic pmin pmin QNP2009

  40. Results of L(1520) analysis pK- invariant mass with MMSA: Fermi motion effect corrected. Simple (g,K+) missing mass: No correction on Fermi motion effect. D(-2lnL) =55.1 for Dndf=2  7.1 s QNP2009

  41. Results of Q+ analysis Simple (g,K-) missing mass: No correction on Fermi motion effect. nK+ invariant mass with MMSA: Fermi motion effect corrected. D(-2lnL) =31.1 for Dndf=2  5.2 s QNP2009

  42. Next step Probability of 2 x 10-7 is not good enough. “Extraordinary claim requires extraordinary evidence.” Higher statistics data was collected in 2006-2007 with the same experimental setup. Blind analysis is under way to check the Θ+ peak QNP2009

  43. Summary • LEPS data has had a significant effect on our understanding of strangeness production. • Recent results on L* reveals the importance of the contact term in photoproduction. • Large isospin difference of production cross section. • Recent results on S* shows that SU(3) flavor symmetry works well for the baryon decuplet. • Beam asymmetry is more negative than expected. • Search for Q+ is still in progress. • There are many constraints from other data.
