Abstract

We simulate an experiment of ν photoproduction on the nucleon performed with a 4π BGO electromagnetic calorimeter and a Compton backscattering tagged beam of 1.5 GeV maximum energy to extract information on background suppression and trigger settings. The simulation is possible by the application of an event generator that reproduces the photon-nucleon interaction from the pion threshold up to 4 GeV.

Differential cross section measurement of η photoproduction on the proton from threshold to 1100 MeV
2002, Physics Letters, Section B: Nuclear, Elementary Particle and High-Energy Physics
The differential cross section for the reaction p(γ,ηp) has been measured from threshold to 1100 MeV photon laboratory energy. For the first time, the region of the S₁₁(1535) resonance is fully covered in a photoproduction experiment and will allow a precise extraction of its parameters at the photon point. These high precision data together with the already measured beam asymmetry data will provide stringent constraints on the extraction of new couplings of baryon resonances to the η meson.
Photonuclear K<sup>+</sup> production calculation near threshold
1998, Physics Letters, Section B: Nuclear, Elementary Particle and High-Energy Physics
Photonuclear kaon production near threshold is investigated as a function of incident energy and the target-nucleus mass, by using the intranuclear cascade model. The present calculation shows that the residual nuclei produced in coincidence with kaons are hotter than those obtained by averaging the excitation energy over inclusive γ-nucleus events. We note that the experimental differential cross section for ¹²C(γ,K⁺) is well reproduced within the present model.
