An experiment designed to investigate the strangeness photoproduction process
using a tagged photon beam in the energy range of 0.90 -1.08 GeV incident on a
liquid deuterium target was successfully performed. The purpose of the
experiment was to measure the production of neutral kaons and the lambda
particles on a deuteron. The generation of photo produced particles was
verified by the measurement of their decayed charged particles in the Neutral
Kaon Spectrometer 2. The reconstructed invariant mass distributions were
achieved by selecting events where two or more particles tracks were
identified. Preliminary results are presented here.
