In GSI experiments, a light pseudoscalar boson of mass Φ 1.6 MeV may have been observed. In order to examine this possibility from a different aspect we propose to study the photo‐and electro‐production process of Φ‐particles. We calculate the cross section of neutral and charged Φ‐particles. We examine the possible role of these production mechanisms in the heavy ion collision processes.
