报告简介：

The Laser-Electron-Photon facility at SPring-8 (LEPS) is a unique and very successful facility with the cleanest photon beam in the world at multi-GeV energies. The photon beam produced by means of laser-induced backward Compton scattering (BCS) from 8 GeV electrons has rather flat energy distribution with small spreading angles, unlike the Bremsstrahlung beam which has huge low-energy photons. The beam polarization is also high and nearly 100% at the maximum energy. Polarization observables play an important role to elucidate the photo-production mechanism. The LEPS experiments have been carried out since 2000 mainly using the forward charged-particle spectrometer to search for the pentaquark, and to study the -meson production, hyperon photoproduction, etc. I will introduce the LEPS facility and present some results of the LEPS experiments. 

A new project to construct the second beamline at SPring-8 (LEPS2) was started several years ago. The LEPS2 improves the intensity of the photon beam and expands the detector acceptance by adopting a large solenoid magnet, which was originally used in the BNL-E949 experiment. The first photon beam has successfully been produced at the LEPS2 beamline in January 2013 and we have started the first physics run from 2014. I will also present the brief view of the LEPS2 system and the current status.
