Title: g8b Experiment at JLab: Photoproduction of PHI meson

Conference ·
OSTI ID:956201

The experiments using polarized photos, at threshold energies, have been taken as relevant experiments because the physics behind them is expected to explain a bunch of problems into the hadronic physics. The nature of parity exchange at threshold energies, strangeness content of proton, violation of Okubo-Zweig-Iizuka observation (OZI rule), are examples of them. Photoproduction of vector mesons by using polarized photons gives a very important way to study those issues. Our goal will be measure the $$\vec {\gamma} p \rightarrow \phi p $$ reaction, with $$\phi \rightarrow K^{+}K^{-} $$, in the photon energy range of 1.7GeV to 2.1 GeV by using a Coherent Linear Polarized Photon Beam in Hall-B at Thomas Jefferson Laboratory (Newport News, VA). The experiment where data were taken was called "g8b".
