Physics Motivation
• Investigation of strangeness production mechanism
–Threshold region of the production
• No resonance decay effect
– Good for comparison with models
• Give theoreticians base data to address
– Coupling constant
– Resonance contribution
• Small cross-section, i.e. high statistics data is required
–Neutral channel in the strangeness photo-production
• Past experiments studied by K + production until 2002
• Not enough data of differential cross-section of
g+n  K 0+L

Model dependence in cross-section
• Models are based on K + experimental data
• There is large model dependence for K 0 cross-section

The Experiments
• The series of experiments by neutral kaon
spectrometer at LNS, Tohoku Univ.
–The 1st generation (NKS)
• Used TAGX spectrometer of INS and successfully done in 2004
• The first measurement of the cross-section of neutral channel
near the threshold
– Carbon target results: PLB651(2007)269
– Liquid D2 target results: PRC78(2008)014001
• It is found that some improvements are necessary:
– the forward region, and
– the vertical position information in the chambers
–The 2nd generation (NKS2)
•

•
Constructed in 2004-2006 from scratch
Commissioning run in 2006
The data taking with liquid D2 target in 2006-2007

– Extends the study to discuss cosq dependence
– Total number of the particle is similar to NKS
• L measurement
– Large statistics (>10 times of NKS)
– Data is from two reaction (g+p and g+n )
• need to separate to compare a model of elementally process
• K +L coincidence measurement is important
– Three/Four tracks event analyses
• Recent results will be shown by Kenta Futatsukawa in the poster session
– Need to increase the acceptance
• Detector upgrade project is on going
