Development of Polarized HD Target for Future LEPS Experiments at SPring-8

摘要: We are carrying out hadron photoproduction experiments by using polarized photon beams at SPring8 in Japan. In 2005, we
started developing a polarized HD target for future experiments using both the polarized photon beams and the polarized target. The
polarized HD target is an idealistic target for experiments observing reactions with small cross sections because the HD does
not include heavy nuclei which produce many background events. The measurement of double polarization asymmetries is expected to give much important information to investigate the nucleon hidden structure, hadron photoproduction dynamics, and exotic hadron property. We report on the present status of the development of the polarized HD target at RCNP.
