Title: Near-threshold photoproduction of Φ mesons from deuterium

Abstract

In this report, we measure the differential cross section on $$\phi$$-meson photoproduction from deuterium near the production threshold for a proton using the CLAS detector and a tagged-photon beam in Hall B at Jefferson Lab. The measurement was carried out by a triple coincidence detection of a proton, $K^+$ and $K^-$ near the theoretical production threshold of 1.57 GeV. Moreover, the extracted differential cross sections $$\frac{d\sigma}{dt}$$ for the initial photon energy from 1.65-1.75 GeV are consistent with predictions based on a quasifree mechanism. Ultimately, this experiment establishes a baseline for a future experimental search for an exotic $$\phi$$-N bound state from heavier nuclear targets utilizing subthreshold/near-threshold production of $$\phi$$ mesons.
