Investigation of open and hidden strangeness Baryons with the BGO-OD experiment at ELSA - here: K*(0,+) photoproduction off proton and neutron

• Applicant: Professor Dr. Hartmut Schmieden

• Term: from 2019 to 2024
• Project identifier: Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG) - Project number 405882627

The goal of the joint project is an exploratory investigation of how K* Λ(1116) and K*(0,+) Σ(1193)(+,0) photoproduction off proton and neutron target is associated with the possible formation of multi quark structures, i.e. beyond minimal 3-quark configurations, in the vicinity of the K* production threshold(s). This shall be achieved by the analysis of data taken in the corresponding reaction channels with the BGO-OD experiment. For improved discrimination between kaons and pions it is proposed to take into operation an aerogel Cherenkov detektor in the fringe field of the BGO-OD forward spectrometer.
