Measurement of $K^0$ photoproduction on liquid deuterium

ORAL

Abstract

Measurements of $K^0$ photoproduction on a liquid deuterium target were performed using the Crystal Ball and TAPS detectors at the Glasgow tagged photon facility of the Mainz Microtron, MAMI-C. Events for $\gamma n \to K^0 \Lambda$, $\gamma n \to K^0 \Sigma^0$, and $\gamma p \to K^0 \Sigma^+$ are identified by selecting events with six to eight clusters, which correspond to final-state photons or nucleons. We will compare results of Monte Carlo simulations using GEANT-4 with preliminary results for the measured data.
