  6. Physics motivation for LEPS II • Q+LEPS vs CLAS LEPS forward angle CLAS large angle PRL 96, 212001(2006) PRC 79, 025210 (2009)

  7. Proton rejection by using dE/dx in Start Counter p Pid = (Measured energy loss in SC) – (Expectation of KK) – (Half of expectation of proton) n K- K- K+ K+ SC p SC SC or K- K+ Proton not tagged (Proton rejected) Proton tagged (e ~60%) Peak structure is seen in the M(nK+) for proton rejected events. (Further more data will be taken at LEPS w/ larger acceptance for proton) KKp only KKn and part of KKp Preliminary Signal enhancement is seen in proton rejected events. should be associated with gn reaction. Preliminary p/n ratio: 1.6 before proton rejection 0.6 after proton rejection
