Abstract: | Photoproduction of baryons with strangeness, such as the ∑(1385), Λ(1520) and possibly the Θ+, are described from measurements at the LEPS/Spring-8 facility in Japan. Linearly polarized photons in the energy range of 1.5-2.4 GeV, along with the forward-angle kinematics at LEPS, provide unique data to learn about these baryons, which are non-perturbative solutions of QCD. |
