Abstract
The formation and excitation of hypernuclei through kaon photoproducti on is reviewed. Basic features of the production process are emphasize d. The possibility of extracting new information on hypernuclear struc ture and on the wave function of the bound Lambda is discussed. New re sults are presented for the quasifree production process A(gamma, K La mbda)B. Observables of this reaction are shown to be sensitive to the Lambda-nucleus final-state interaction.
