Abstract: (APS)
K¯0n, Λπ0, and Σ0π0 final-state cross sections and Λπ0 and Σ0π0 polarizations are obtained in K−p interactions, for PK− in the range 350-430 MeV/c, near the Λ(1520) resonance. Two fits to the partial-wave amplitudes have been found, both assuming a standard Breit-Wigner amplitude for the Λ(1520) resonance and a constant-scattering-length D32 isospin-1 amplitude, but differing in their treatment of the S- and P-wave backgrounds. One method used a constant K matrix, the other a momentum-dependent effective-range expansion for the inverse of the K matrix. From the fitted partial waves, an upper limit of 10% is set for an isospin mixing between the Λπ0 and Σ0π0 amplitudes.
