Photon induced {lambda}(1520) production and the role of the K* exchange
- Departamento de Fisica Atomica, Molecular y Nuclear, Universidad de Granada, E-18071 (Spain)
We study the photon induced {lambda}(1520) production in the effective Lagrangian method near threshold, E{sub {gamma}}{sup LAB}{<=}2 GeV, and in the quark-gluon string model at higher energies 3 GeV{<=}E{sub {gamma}}{sup LAB}{<=}5 GeV. In particular, we study the role of the K* exchange for the production of {lambda}(1520) within the SU(6) Weinberg-Tomozowa chiral unitary model proposed by Garcia-Recio, Nieves, and Salcedo [Phys. Rev. D 74, 034025 (2006)]. The coupling of the {lambda}(1520) resonance to the NK* pair, which is dynamically generated, turns out to be relatively small and, thus, the K exchange mechanism dominates the reaction. In the higher energy region, where experimental data are available, the quark-gluon string mechanism with the K Regge trajectory reproduces both the energy and the angular distribution dependences of the {lambda}(1520) photoproduction reaction.
