The BGO-OD experiment: status — •Jürgen Hannappel for the BGO-OD collaboration — Physikalisches Institut der Universität Bonn

In the framework of an international collaboration a new detector is set up at the accelerator facility ELSA in Bonn, the BGO-OD experiment.

It aims at systematic investigation of nonstrange and strange meson photoproduction, in particular t-channel processes at low momentum transfer. The setup uniquely combines a central almost 4π acceptance BGO crystal calorimeter with a large aperture forward magnetic spectrometer providing good detection of both neutral and charged particles, complementary to other setups like CB, LEPS or CLAS.

An overview of the BGO-OD detector is presented. Preliminary data from the first data takings will be shown and discussed.
