Title: Differential cross sections and polarization observables from CLAS K ⁎ photoproduction and the search for new N ⁎ states

Abstract

The reaction $$\gamma p \to K^{*+} \Lambda$$ was measured using the CLAS detector for photon energies between the threshold and 3.9 GeV at the Thomas Jefferson National Accelerator Facility. For the first time, spin-density matrix elements have been extracted for this reaction. Differential cross sections, spin density matrix elements, and the $$\Lambda$$ recoil polarization are compared with theoretical predictions using the BnGa partial wave analysis. The main result is the evidence for significant contributions from $N(1895)1/2^-$ and $N(2100)1/2^+$ to the reaction. Branching ratios for decays into $$K^*\Lambda$$ for these resonances and further resonances are reported.
