Photoproduction of the Λ*(1520 Hyperon off Protons and Neutrons In Deuterium
Abstract
dc:description.abstract<p>The photoproduction of the Λ<sup>*</sup>(1520) off both protons and neutrons in deuterium has been studied using the CLAS eg3 run data. The reactions are γ d → K<sup>+</sup> Λ<sup>*</sup> (n) and γ d → K<sup>0</sup> Λ<sup>*</sup> (p). Preliminary Λ<sup>*</sup>(1520) cross sections and decay angle distributions are extracted in the photon energy region 1.75 GeV < E<sub>γ</sub> < 5.50 GeV. This is the first time that exclusive photoproduction of Λ<sup>*</sup>(1520) on neutrons has been reported. Moreover our results on protons extend to higher energies than the previous studies.</p>
