Photoproduction of K*+¿¿/¿¿0 and K0¿¿+ from the Proton Using CLAS at Jefferson Lab

Abstract Details

2012, Doctor of Philosophy (PhD), Ohio University, Physics and Astronomy (Arts and Sciences).
This dissertation presents measurements of the differential and total cross sections of the photoproduction ¿¿ + p → K*+ + ¿¿ and ¿¿ + p → K*+ + ¿¿0 using the CLAS g11a data collected at experimental Hall-B, Jefferson Lab. These measurements are the world’s first high statistics measurements of K*+¿¿ and K*+¿¿0 photoproduction. The cross section covers the incident photon energy range from 1.75 GeV to 3.85 GeV for K*+¿¿ and from 1.85 GeV to 3.75 GeV for K*+¿¿0 in the CLAS lab frame, Also, the ¿¿ recoil polarization of the K*+¿¿ reaction channel is measured. The differential cross sections of ¿¿ + p → K0 + ¿¿+ were measured as a calibration reaction and those results are compared with the previous CLAS, SAPHIR and CBELSA measurements. The K*+¿¿ recoil polarization was calibrated by checking the K+¿¿ polarization and comparing with previous CLAS measurements.
