Abstract: (APS)
The photoproduction reaction of γp→K+Λ(1405) is investigated based on an effective Lagrangian approach at the tree-level approximation with the purpose of understanding the reaction mechanism and extracting the resonance contents and the associated resonance parameters in this reaction. Apart from the t-channel K and K* exchanges, s-channel nucleon (N) exchange, u-channel Σ, Λ, and Λ(1405) exchanges, and generalized contact term, the exchanges of a minimum number of N resonances in the s channel are taken into account in constructing the reaction amplitudes to describe the experimental data. It is found that by introducing the N(2000)5/2+ resonance exchange in the s channel, one can reproduce the most recent differential cross-section data from the CLAS Collaboration quite well. Further analysis shows that the cross sections of γp→K+Λ(1405) at high energies are dominated by the t-channel K exchange, while the contributions from the s-channel N and N(2000)5/2+ exchanges are rather significant to the cross sections in the near-threshold energy region. Predictions for the beam and target asymmetries for γp→K+Λ(1405) are given.
