Hadron photoproduction experiments in LEPS2

RESUMO

In the LEPS2 facility constructed at SPring-8, hadron photoproduction experiments have been carried out by using a photon beam with high linear polarization in the tagged energy range of 1.3-2.4 GeV. The BGOegg and Solenoid experiments are alternately running with large-acceptance detector setups, which have been prepared by focusing on the measurement of gamma-rays and charged particles, respectively. These two projects have covered a wide range of hadron physics research, including the search for in-medium meson mass modification, the baryon resonance spectroscopy, the studies on exotic hadrons, and so on. This article reviews the physics programs, the obtained results, and the future prospects in the LEPS2 facility.
