Abstract: (APS)
A comprehensive analysis of all available data on cross sections and spin-dependent observables for the γpK+Σ0(1385), γnK+Σ-(1385), and π+pK+Σ+(1385) reactions is performed within an effective Lagrangian framework. In addition to the s-channel N exchange, t-channel K and K* exchanges, u-channel Λ, Σ, and Σ* exchanges, and the interaction current, the s-channel contributions from a minimal set of N and Δ resonances are included in constructing the reaction amplitudes to describe the data. The analysis reveals that all available data for both photon- and hadron-induced KΣ(1385) production reactions can be simultaneously and satisfactorily reproduced when the contribution of the s-channel Δ(1930)5/2- resonance is taken into account. The reaction mechanisms, particularly the resonance contributions in each considered reaction, are thoroughly analyzed and discussed in detail.
