A Phenomenological Lagrangian Approach to Two Kaon Photoproduction and Pentaquark Searches
نویسنده
چکیده
We examine cross sections for the processes γN → NKK in the framework of a phenomenological Lagrangian. We include contributions from Λ and Σ resonances up to spin 3/2, as well as those from an exotic Θ. We allow the Θ to have spin 1/2 or 3/2, with either positive or negative parity in each case. We also allow the state to be either isovector or isoscalar. We find that the scenario that most closely matches observations at Jefferson Laboratory requires a moderately large coupling of the Θ to NK.

The kaon optical potential modified by Θ + Pentaquark excitation
We study the kaon nuclear optical potential including the effect of the Θ + pentaquark in a selfconsistent approach, starting from an extension of the Jülich meson-exchange potential as bare kaon-nucleon interaction. Significant differences between a fully self-consistent calculation and the low-density T ρ approximation are observed. Whereas the influence of the KN → Θ + absorption process is ...
متن کاملCross sections for pentaquark baryon production from protons in reactions induced by hadrons and photons
Using hadronic Lagrangians that include the interaction of pentaquark Q+ baryon with K and N, we evaluate the cross sections for its production from meson-proton, proton-proton, and photon-proton reactions near threshold. With empirical coupling constants and form factors, the predicted cross sections are about 1.5 mb in kaon-proton reactions, 0.1 mb in r-nucleon reactions, 0.05 mb in pion-nucl...
متن کاملSU(3) Chiral Dynamics with Coupled Channels: Eta and Kaon Photoproduction
We identify the leading s-wave amplitudes of the SU(3) chiral meson-baryon Lagrangian with an effective coupled-channel potential which is iterated in a Lippmann-Schwinger equation. The strangeness S = −1 resonance Λ(1405) and the S11(1535) nucleon resonance emerge as quasi-bound states of anti-kaon/nucleon and kaon/Σ-hyperon. Our approach to meson photoproduction introduces no new parameters. ...
متن کاملPentaquark Θ(1540) production in γN → KKN Reactions
Abstract The recent developments in the search of exotic pentaquark hadrons are briefly reviewed. We then focus on investigating how the exotic pentaquark Θ(1540) baryon production can be identified in the γN → KKN reactions, focusing on the influence of the background (non-Θ production) mechanisms. By imposing the SU(3) symmetry and using various quark model predictions, we are able to fix the...
متن کاملMagnetic interaction induced by the anomaly in kaon-photoproductions
We study the role of magnetic interaction in the photoproduction of the kaon and hyperon. We find that the inclusion of a higher order diagram induced by the Wess-Zumio-Witten term has a significant contribution to the magnetic amplitude, which is compatible to the observed photon asymmetry in the forward angle region. This enables us to use the K coupling constants which have been determined i...
