| Title | The Differential Cross Section and Λ Recoil Polarization from γδ -> Κ<sup>0</sup>(ρ) | ||||
| Abstract | Presented is the analysis of the differential cross section and Λ recoil polarization from the reaction γδ -> Κ<sup>0</sup>(ρ). This work measured these observables over beam energies from 0.90 GeV to 3.0 GeV. These measurements are the first in this channel to cover such a wide range of energies. The data were taken using the CEBAF Large Acceptance Spectrometer (CLAS) at Jefferson Laboratory (JLAB) along with a tagged photon beam. This analysis was completed by identifying events of interest that decayed into the final state topology of π<sup>-</sup>π<sup>+,</sup>π<sup>-</sup>&rho'(ρ). Through conservation of energy and momentum, the Κ<sup>0</sup>, Λ and missing mass of the spectator proton were reconstructed. Utilizing the same analysis techniques, the observables were measured on two different experiments with good agreement.<br /><br /> Photoproduction of strange mesons from the neutron are difficult to measure, consequently t | ||||
