Outline
• Photo-production of mesons at high energy and near production threshold.– Pomeron exchange.– Pseduo-scaler particle exchange.
• How linearly polarized photon beam can help us in distinguishing different sources of contribution?– Spin density matrix element.– Decay asymmetry in Helicity Frame.
• Measurement by LEPS experiment at SPring-8.– Reconstruction of mesons in KK modes.– Angular distribution of K+ in Helicity Frame at forward direction.
• Summary.

• Pomeron: – Positive power-law scaling of s.
– Dominating at large energy.
– Natural parity (=+1).
– Exchange particles unknown; likely to be glueball : P1(J=2+), P2 (J=0+, negative power-law scaling of s, Ref: T. Nakano and H.Toki, 1998).
• Pseudo-scaler particle: – Negative power-law scaling of s.
– Showing up at small energy.
– Un-natural parity (= –1).
– Exchange particles like ,.
– OZI suppressed.

Summary
• About 5000 events of photo-production of mesons by linearly polarized photons from E= 1.6GeV(threshold) to 2.4GeV are measured by LEPS experiment at SPring-8/Japan.
• The preliminary results show that the contribution of natural-parity exchange still composes a larger fraction in the total scattering amplitude of at photo-production of mesons E=2.3 GeV and |t|<0.2 region.
• With the ongoing studies of the acceptance correction and systematic errors, the cross section, differential cross section and spin density matrix elements at the forward regions will be reported in the near future.
A presentation of detailed results will be shown in the poster session [ 6B-26]:“Polarization observables in the \phi(1020) meson photoproduction withlinearly polarized photons” by T. Mibe (RCNP, Osaka University).
