Measurement of the Σ π photoproduction line shapes near the Λ ( 1405 )
نویسندگان
چکیده
The reaction γ + p → K + + Σ + π was used to determine the invariant mass distributions or " line shapes " of the Σ + π − , Σ − π + and Σ 0 π 0 final states, from threshold at 1328 MeV/c 2 through the mass range of the Λ(1405) and the Λ(1520). The measurements were made with the CLAS system at Jefferson Lab using tagged real photons, for center-of-mass energies 1.95 < W < 2.85 GeV. The three mass distributions differ strongly in the vicinity of the I = 0 Λ(1405), indicating the presence of substantial I = 1 strength in the reaction. Background contributions to the data from the Σ 0 (1385) and from K * Σ production were studied and shown to have negligible influence. To separate the isospin amplitudes, Breit-Wigner model fits were made that included channel-coupling distortions due to the N ¯ K threshold. A best fit to all the data was obtained after including a phenomenological I = 1, J P = 1/2 − amplitude with a centroid at 1394 ± 20 MeV/c 2 and a second I = 1 amplitude at 1413 ± 10 MeV/c 2. The centroid of the I = 0 Λ(1405) strength was found at the Σπ threshold, with the observed shape determined largely by channel-coupling, leading to an apparent overall peak near 1405 MeV/c 2 .

Kei Moriya IU Properties of the Λ(1405) Hyperon Studied at CLAS Using Photoproduction
The internal structure of the Λ(1405) hyperon has remained an unresolved mystery in hadron physics for decades. Observed as a resonance in Σπ just below the N-K threshold , it is the first excited Λ state; yet the nature of this resonance, where it belongs in the hierarchy of hyperons, and some of its basic properties, remain unsettled. In previous experiments, the invariant mass spectrum (line...
متن کاملDifferential photoproduction cross sections of the Σ0(1385), Îł(1405), and Îł(1520)
We report the exclusive photoproduction cross sections for the Σ 0 (1385), Λ(1405), and Λ(1520) in the reactions γ + p → K + + Y * using the CLAS detector for energies from near the respective production thresholds up to a center-of-mass energy W of 2.85 GeV. The differential cross sections are integrated to give the total exclusive cross sections for each hyperon. Comparisons are made to curre...
متن کاملThe radiative decay of the Λ(1405) and its two-pole structure
We evaluate theoretically the radiative decay widths into γΛ and γΣ of the two poles of the Λ(1405) found in chiral unitary theories and we find quite different results for each of the two poles. We show that, depending on which reaction is used to measure the Λ(1405) radiative decays, one gives more weight to one or the other pole, resulting in quite different shapes in the γΛ(Σ) invariant mas...
متن کاملEvidence for Two Λ(1405) Resonance States
The K − p → π 0 π 0 Σ 0 reaction is studied within a chiral unitary model. The distribution of π 0 Σ 0 states forming the Λ(1405) shows, in agreement with a recent experiment, a peak at 1420 MeV and a relatively narrow width of Γ = 38 MeV. We use these data in combination with those of the π − p → K 0 πΣ reaction and elements of chiral unitary theory to prove that there are two Λ(1405) states i...

In this paper, we have investigated the kaon-deuteron interaction at an incident momentum of 1 GeV/c using the relativistic and non-relativistic Faddeev method for different phenomenological and chiral potentials. By calculating the π∑ invariant mass spectra on different particle channels, we have shown that the trace of Λ(1405) resonance is visible in such spectra. In the present work, the st...
