We report the first observation of the line shape of the Λ ( 1405 ) from electroproduction, and show that it is not a simple Breit-Wigner resonance. Electroproduction of K + Λ ( 1405 ) off the proton was studied by using data from CLAS at Jefferson Lab in the range 1.0 < Q 2 < 3.0 (GeV/ c ) 2 . The analysis utilized the decay channels Σ + π - of the Λ ( 1405 ) and p π 0 of the Σ + . Neither the standard Particle Data Group resonance parameters, nor free parameters fitting to a single Breit-Wigner resonance represent the line shape. In our fits, the line shape corresponds approximately to predictions of a two-pole meson-baryon picture of the Λ ( 1405 ) , with a lower mass pole near 1368 MeV/ c 2 and a higher mass pole near 1423 MeV/ c 2 . Furthermore, with increasing photon virtuality the mass distribution shifts toward the higher mass pole.
