3. §1. Introduction LEPS experiments have proved the accessibility to new frontiers in hadron physics by making use of its advantages in measuring the forward angular regions without harmful background noise and manipulating gamma ray characteristics through easy-to- access laser system. They also enjoy highly stable operation of Spring-8 accelerators and its low emittance electron beams. After 5 years of physics runs with several important outputs, we are in a position to discuss a new LEPS beamline with enhancement and emphasis of recognized advantages, supplements to weak points, and challenges to completely new possibilities, which all motivated by physics.
