Strangeness photoproduction at the BGO-OD experiment — •Thomas Jude for the BGO-OD collaboration — Physikalisches Institut, Bonn University, Bonn, Germany

The BGO-OD experiment at the ELSA accelerator facility uses an energy tagged bremstrahlung photon beam to investigate the internal structure of the nucleon. The setup consists of a highly segmented BGO calorimeter surrounding the target, with a particle tracking magnetic spectrometer at forward angles.

Compared to constituent quark models (CQMs), models including psuedoscalar meson-baryon interactions have had improved success in describing baryon excitation spectra. For example, the Λ(1405) appears to be dynamically generated from meson-baryon interactions at least to some extent. Vector-meson baryon interactions have also been predicted to dynamically generate states, which may have been observed in photoproduction reactions.

BGO-OD is ideal for investigating low momentum transfer processes due to the acceptance and high momentum resolution at forward angles. This enables the investigation of degrees of freedom not derived from CQMs, and in particular, strangeness photoproduction where t-channel exchange mechanisms play a dominant role.

With the first major data taking periods for BGO-OD complete, an extensive programme for the investigation of associated strangeness photoproduction has begun. Supported by DFG (SFB/TR-16).
