Is the bump structure candidate of the exotic process      (2nd Pomeron (glueball))? The model based on Pomeron exchange and pseudo scalar

exchange failed to explain such a non-monotonic behavior. This suggests that unknown natural parity process exist. But natural parity exchange process is comparable to pseudo

scalar exchange process from the value of ρ3.

To extract the natural parity process, detailed study for pseudo scalar π-η exchange is important.

Study of incoherent photo-production from deuteron is unique tool for this purpose.

1. Coherent production Interact with deuteron itself.

Deuteron is iso-scalar target Iso-vector π exchange is

forbidden. Pure natural parity exchange

2. Incoherent production Interact with proton or

Non monotonic structure in cross section with Eγ increase at Deuteron target. Differential cross section for incoherent φ photo-production shows a significant

reduction from free proton Some effect other than nuclear density is necessary. Reduction is significant independent with coherent exclusion cut and Eγeff estimation.

From analysis for exclusive KKp event, Reduction is not only neutron but also proton in deuteron. π-η interference is small.

Decay asymmetry ρ3 is similar with free proton one η   exchange component is weak.
