We report the measurement of differential cross sections for $omega$ and $eta$ photoproduction from protons at backward angles ($-1.0<cosTheta_{C.M}^{X}<-0.8$) using linearly polarized photons at $E_{gamma}=$$1.5-3.0$ GeV. Differential cross sections for $omega$ mesons are larger than the predicted $u$-channel contribution in the energy range $2.0leqsqrt{s}leq2.4$ GeV. The differential cross sections for $omega$ and $eta$ mesons become closer to the predicted $u$-channel contribution at $sqrt{s}>2.4$ GeV. A bump structure in the $sqrt{s}$ dependence of the differential cross sections for $eta$ mesons was observed at $sqrt{s}sim$2.35 GeV.

Differential cross sections for eta photoproduction off protons have been measured at E_gamma = 1.6 - 2.4 GeV in the backward direction. A bump structure has been observed above 2.0 GeV in the total energy. No such bump is observed in cross sections for eta, omega and pi0 photoproductions. It is inferred that this unique structure in eta photoproduction is due to a baryon resonance with a large portion of ss-bar strongly coupled to the etaN channel.
We report the measurement of the $gamma p rightarrow K^{+}Lambda$ and $gamma p rightarrow K^{+}Sigma^{0}$ reactions at SPring-8. The differential cross sections and photon-beam asymmetries are measured at forward $K^{+}$ production angles using linearly polarized tagged-photon beams in the range of $E_{gamma}=1.5$--3.0 GeV. With increasing photon energy, the cross sections for both $gamma p rightarrow K^{+}Lambda$ and $gamma p rightarrow K^{+}Sigma^{0}$ reactions decrease slowly. Distinct narrow structures in the production cross section have not been found at $E_{gamma}=1.5$--3.0 GeV. The forward peaking in the angular distributions of cross sections, a characteristic feature of $t$-channel exchange, is observed for the production of $Lambda$ in the whole observed energy range. A lack of similar feature for $Sigma^{0}$ production reflects a less dominant role of $t$-channel contribution in this channel. The photon-beam asymmetries remain positive for both reactions, suggesting the dominance of $K^{*}$ exchange in the $t$ channel. These asymmetries increase gradually with the photon energy, and have a maximum value of +0.6 for both reactions. Comparison with theoretical predictions based on the Regge trajectory in the $t$ channel and the contributions of nucleon resonances indicates the major role of $t$-channel contributions as well as non-negligible effects of nucleon resonances in accounting for the reaction mechanism of hyperon photoproduction in this photon energy regime.
Differential cross sections and photon beam asymmetries for $pi^0$ photoproduction have been measured at $E_gamma$ = 1.5--2.4 GeV and at the $pi^0$ scattering angles, --1 $<$ cos$Theta_{c.m.} <$ --0.6. The energy-dependent slope of differential cross sections for $u$-channel $pi^0$ production has been determined. An enhancement at backward angles is found above $E_gamma$ = 2.0 GeV. This is inferred to be due to the $u$-channel contribution and/or resonances. Photon beam asymmetries have been obtained for the first time at backward angles. A strong angular dependence has been found at $E_gamma >$ 2.0 GeV, which may be due to the unknown high-mass resonances.
Differential cross sections at $t=t_{text{min}}$ and decay asymmetries for the $gamma prightarrowphi p$ reaction have been measured using linearly polarized photons in the range 1.5 to 2.9 GeV. These cross sections were used to determine the Pomeron strength factor. The cross sections and decay asymmetries are consistently described by the $t$-channel Pomeron and pseudoscalar exchange model in the $E_{gamma}$ region above 2.37 GeV. In the lower energy region, an excess over the model prediction is observed in the energy dependence of the differential cross sections at $t=t_{text{min}}$. This observation suggests that additional processes or interference effects between Pomeron exchange and other processes appear near the threshold region.
We report on the measurement of the beam asymmetry $Sigma$ for the reactions $vec{gamma}prightarrow peta$ and $vec{gamma}p rightarrow peta^{prime}$ from the GlueX experiment, using an 8.2--8.8 GeV linearly polarized tagged photon beam incident on a liquid hydrogen target in Hall D at Jefferson Lab. These measurements are made as a function of momentum transfer $-t$, with significantly higher statistical precision than our earlier $eta$ measurements, and are the first measurements of $eta^{prime}$ in this energy range. We compare the results to theoretical predictions based on $t$--channel quasi-particle exchange. We also compare the ratio of $Sigma_{eta}$ to $Sigma_{eta^{prime}}$ to these models, as this ratio is predicted to be sensitive to the amount of $sbar{s}$ exchange in the production. We find that photoproduction of both $eta$ and $eta^{prime}$ is dominated by natural parity exchange with little dependence on $-t$.
