Abstract: (APS)
We investigate the photoproduction of K*0Σ+ and K*+Σ0 off the proton target, employing the effective Lagrangian approach at the tree-level Born approximation. In addition to the (s,t,u)-channel Born diagrams, we take into account various baryon-resonance contributions such as D13(2080), S11(2090), G17(2190), D15(2200), S31(2150), G37(2200), F37(2390), and Σ*(1385,3/2+) in a fully covariant manner. We present the numerical results for the energy and angular dependences for the cross sections in comparison to available experimental data. The single-polarization observables, i.e., the photon-beam (Σγ), recoil (Py), and target (Ty) baryon polarization asymmetries are computed as well for future experiments. We observe from the numerical results that the resonance contributions play a minor role in producing the strength of the cross sections, being different from the K*Λ photoproduction. In contrast, it turns out that the Δ(1232)-pole contribution and K exchange in the t channel dominate the scattering process. On the other hand, the higher resonances influence the polarization observables such as the recoil and target asymmetries.Note:
