The g13 Experiment at Jefferson Lab: Strangeness Production on the Neutron in the Deuteron with Polarized Photons: gamma-vector n-->KY-vector

Strangeness has been shown to be important for the understanding of the so-called missing resonances. Due to the scarce experimental data in strangeness photoproduction on the neutron, phenomenological models such as coupled-channels analyses resort to certain approximations that do not allow getting either accuracy or agreement between different analyses when extracting resonance parameters. Thus, in order to obtain high-quality data on the neutron channels, a new experiment (designated g13), based on a liquid deuterium target and a polarized photon beam (both circular and linear polarization) covering from threshold to 2.3 GeV has been done at the Thomas Jefferson National Accelerator Facility. In this paper, a brief description of the g13 experiment is given.
