Kaon photo-production on the nucleon and deuteron

Abstract

Isobaric models for the photo-production of K${}^{+}$ are discussed and their predictions are shown in the K${}^0$ photo-production. The models are further used in spectator model calculations of the K${}^0$ photo-production on deuteron. Considerable dependence of the inclusive cross section on the elementary amplitude was found.
