Photoproduction of $\Lambda$(1520) and interference effect in particle production

ORAL

Abstract

The cross-sections and t-dependence of two decay channels: $\Lambda(1520) \to K^{-} p$ and $\Lambda(1520) \to \bar{K^{o}} n$ are investigated to unravel quantum mechanical interference between $\Lambda(1520) (K^{-} p)$ and $\phi(1020) (K^{+} K^{-})$ decay modes, which is absent in $\Lambda(1520) \to \bar{K^{o}} n$ final state. The data set collected on hydrogen target in the photon energy range from 1.5 - 3.6 GeV on CLAS are used for this analysis.
