Why Neutral?
Theoretical studies were based on
data of g+p K++Yand then there are huge discrepancies
in prediction of neutral channel

Neutral channel is requisite

Why Threshold ?
Less effect of resonances than higher energy region
Simplicityto compare the data with a model

TheoreticalApproach
• Hadron coupling– Isospin symmetry
• Electromagnetic (photo) coupling– Helicity amplitude
• Charged and neutral nucleon resonances
– Decay width• Charged and neutral Kaon resonances• However, the decay width of K1
resonance is not known

SUMMARY
• Investigation of strangeness photoproduction at ELPH, Tohoku Univ. in Sendai– NKS/NKS2 is an unique experiment
• Focusing neutral channel• In the threshold region (Eg=0.9-1.1 GeV)
– NKS• The first measurement of n(g, K0)X cross section
– cosqK0 = 0.9-1.0 in CM– NKS2
• Covering forward region– cosqK0 = 0.8-1.0 in CM
– NKS2 upgraded• New detectors are added to increase the acceptance• Detector and the system is ready• Physics data taking is going to start soon
– Sep/6–26 and Oct/1-31– ~2.01012 photon will be achieved
» ~400 K0s+L coincidence events is expected
