Photo- and Electroproduction of Kaons

Abstract

Isobar models for the electromagnetic production of K+ and K0 are discussed with emphasis on the K0 photoproduction off neutron. Predictions of the models for the K0 photoproduction on deuteron are compared with the recent data and some properties of the elementary amplitudes are shown.
