Jefferson Lab Experiment E93-018 measured kaon electroproduction in hydrogen in two hyperon channels, p(e, e'K+)Lambda and p(e,e'K+)Sigma0. Data in both channels were taken at three (3) different values of the virtual photon transverse linear polarization, epsilon, for each of four (4) values of Q2 = (0.52, 0.75, 1.00, 2.00) GeV2. Cross sections averaged over the azimuthal angle, phi, were extracted (i.e., sigmaT + epsilon sigmaL ) at each of these twelve points for each hyperon. Rosenbluth separations were performed to separate the longitudinal and transverse production cross sections.
