Abstract

We present an analysis of the Beam-Target double polarization asymmetry for the photoproduction of Θ+\Theta^+ in γnΘ+K\gamma n\to \Theta^+ K^-. We show that this quantity can serve as a filter for the determination of the Θ+\Theta^+'s spin-parity assignment near threshold. It is highly selective between 1/2+1/2^+ and 1/21/2^- configurations due to dynamical reasons.
