Electroproduction of Hyperons

چکیده
We present some estimates for the reaction ~ ep ! e 0 +. At small scattering angles, the diierential cross section is completely determined by the experimental data for the radiative decay + ! pp. For kinematical values typical of the proposed parity experiment at MAMI, we nd a suppression factor of about 5 10 ?15 as compared to elastic electron scattering. On the basis of conservative models for the transition form factors, this ratio might increase by about a factor of 20 at backward angles. Even higher values could be expected if the presently unknown convection currents should turn out to be large. Due to the parity violation involved in this process, we also expect a large asymmetry for polarized electrons.

Polarization Response Functions in Kaon Electroproduction
The electroproduction of kaons on the nucleon is shown to be an ideal tool to extract electromagnetic form factors of strange mesons and hyperons. Longitudinal n(e, eK)Λ cross sections are found to be sensitive to the K form factor, while sensitivity to the Λ magnetic form factor can be seen in recoil-beam double polarization observables. The KKγ transition form factor could be extracted by mea...
متن کاملWeak quasielastic electroproduction of hyperons with polarization observables
With the availability of high luminosity electron beam at the accelerators, there is now the possibility of studying weak quasielastic hyperon production off the proton i.e. ep → νeY (Y = Λ,Σ ), which will enable the determination of nucleon-hyperon vector and axial-vector transition form factors at high Q in the strangeness sector and provide test of the Cabibbo model, G-invariance, CVC, PCAC ...
متن کاملRatio of Λ / Λ in Semi - inclusive Electroproduction
It is shown that the Λ/Λ cross section ratio in semi-inclusive electroproduction of Λ and Λ hyperons in deep inelastic scattering of charged lepton on a nucleon target, can provide useful information on the quark to Λ fragmentation functions. This ratio is calculated explicitly in a quark-diquark model, a pQCD based analysis, and an SU(3) symmetry model, with three different options for the con...
متن کاملProgress and Issues in the Electromagnetic Production of Kaon on the Nucleon
Compared to the case of pions the electromagnetic productions of kaons are less understood. This is due to the fact that the strangeness quantum number is explicitly present in the final state of the process. Although the reactions involving kaons are slightly more complicated, the additional degrees of freedom created by the strangeness can give information not available from nucleons and pion...
متن کاملKaon and Hyperon Form Factors in Kaon Electroproduction on the Nucleon
The study of the electromagnetic structure of hadrons provides an important key for our understanding of hadronic structure, since form factors reflect the charge distribution of quarks and gluons inside the hadron. During the last decades there has been considerable effort to develop models for not only the nucleon, but also hyperon and meson form factors. Nevertheless, the main problematic is...
