Status of SPRING-8 Leps Project and the Gdh Experiment
Abstract
LEPS - a polarized high energy photon facility - has been established at SPring-8. It provides photons by means of Compton back scattering of a laser light against 8 GeV electrons in the storage ring. Physics programs currently performed in the facility are introduced. The GDH experiment is aiming at measurements of the helicity dependent total photo-absorption cross-section at the energies from 1.8 GeV to 2.8 GeV. The status of its preparation is presented.
