Motivation
• Presence of a local peak near threshold at Eγ ∼ 2.0 GeVin the differential cross-section (DCS) of γp → φp atforward angle by Mibe and Chang, et al. [PRL 95182001 (2005)] from the LEPS Collaboration.−→ Observed also by JLAB: Tedeschi et al. and B. Deydissertation.
• Conventional model of Pomeron plus π and η ex-changes usually can only give rise to a monotonically-increasing behavior.
• We would like to see whether this local peak can be explainedas a resonance.
• In order to check this assumption, we apply the results on γp→φp to γd→ φpn to see if we can describe the latter.

LMNN =gMNN
2MN
ψγµγ5ψ∂µϕM
with M = (π, η).
• We choose gπNN = 13.26, gηNN = 1.12, gγφπ = −0.14, andgγφη = −0.71.
• Form factor at each vertex in the t-channel diagram is
FMNN(t) = FγφM(t) =Λ2
M −m2M
Λ2M − t
• The value ΛM = 1.2 GeV is taken for both M = (π, η).

Resonances
• Only spin 1/2 or 3/2 because the resonance is close to thethreshold.
• Lagrangian densities that couple spin-1/2 and 3/2 particlesto γN or φN channels are

• Current conservation fixes g(1)γNN∗ → 0 for JP = 1/2± and
the term proportional to g(3)γNN∗ vanishes in the case of real
photon.
• The effect of the width is taken into account in a Breit-Wigner form by replacing the usual denominator p2−M 2
N∗ →p2 −M 2
N∗ + iMN∗ΓN∗.
• The form factor for the vertices used in the s- and u-channel diagrams is
FN∗(p2) =Λ4
Λ4 + (p2 −M 2N∗)2
with Λ = 1.2 GeV for all resonances.

Fitting to γp→ φp experimental data
• We include only one resonance at a time.
• We fit only masses, widths, and coupling constants of theresonances to the experimental data, while other parametersare fixed during fitting.
• Experimental data to fit
– Differential cross sections (DCS) at forward angle
– DCS as a function of t at eight incoming photon energybins
– Nine spin-density matrix elements (SDME) at threeincoming photon energy bins

Results for γp→ φp
• Both JP = 1/2± resonances cannot fit the data.
• DCS at forward angle and as a function of t aremarkedly improved by the inclusion of the JP = 3/2± reso-nances.
• In general, SDME are also improved by both JP = 3/2±
resonances.
• Decay angular distributions, not used in the fitting proce-dure, can also be explained well.
• We study the effect of the resonance to the DCS of γp→ ωp.−→ The resonance seems to have a considerable amount ofstrangeness content.

Summary and conclusions
• Inclusion of a resonance is needed to explain the non-monotonic behavior in the DCS γp→ φp near threshold.
• Resonance with J = 3/2 of either parity is preferred for γp →φp, while JP = 1/2± cannot fit the data.
• We can also explain the experimental data on the DCS andSDME of γd→ φpn very well using JP = 3/2− resonance.−→ Final-state interaction of pn and resonance effectsare found to be large and important to describe the data.
• Similarity between the JP = 3/2− and D13(2120) is inter-esting to note.−→Rather similar value of the ratio of helicity am-plitudes A1/2/A3/2 for γp (Ours = 1.05, PDG = 0.83).
• The resonance seems to have a considerable amount ofstrangeness content.−→ Based on a separate study on its effect on γp→ ωp.

Outlooks
• We plan to work out γd→ φd for even more consistent check.
• Coupled-channel analysis for φN , KΣ, and KΛ will alsobe interesting to do.−→ JLAB already has the data.
• More experiments, e.g. measurement of single and doublepolarizations, would be helpful to check our predictions.−→ Asymmetry of the polarized beam Σx would beideal to distinguish the parity since different parities havedifferent signs.

Effects on γp→ ωp
• From the φ − ω mixing, we expect the resonance to also con-tribute to ω photoproduction.
• The coupling constants gφNN∗ and gωNN∗ are related, andin our study we choose to use the so-called “minimal”parametrization,
gφNN∗ = −xOZItan∆θV gωNN∗
where xOZI = 1 is the ordinary φ− ω mixing.
• By using xOZI = 12 for the JP = 3/2− resonance and xOZI = 9for the JP = 3/2+ resonance, we found that we can explainquite well the DCS of ω photoproduction.
• The large value of xOZI indicates that the resonance has aconsiderable amount of strangeness content.
