Strangeness photoproduction on the deuterium target

More information on the nucleon excitation function can be gained by studying the photoproduction experiments. In these experiments, the nucleon inside the nucleous is excited by shooting a high energy photon beam. The excited spectrum of the nucleon is then studied by measuring the energy and momentum of the decayed particles. The K0 photoproduction on the deuterium target (gamma d -> K0 Sigma+ n) has been studied first time from the experiment presented in this thesis. This experiment has been carried out at Electron Stretcher Accelerator (ELSA) facility in Bonn. The combination of Crystal Barrel and TAPS photon spectrometer was used to detect the decayed photons. The analysis of this reaction yielded an excitation function and differential cross sections in the energy region between threshold (1050 MeV) and 2000 MeV in incoming photon energy. This experiment also provides an additional information on little known hyperon - nucleon interaction.
