Abstract

We have measured the

K_{2}^{0}

yields for electron energies of 10 and 16 GeV and at production angles of 2° and 4°, using a 40-in. hydrogen bubble chamber as a

K_{2}^{0}

detector. The observed yields are compared with the predictions of a model involving the intermediate photoproduction of

ϕ (1020)

mesons. In addition, we have measured the relative neutron-to-

K_{2}^{0}

ratio as a function of the secondary beam momentum.
