The Regge-plus-resonance (RPR) framework for kaon photoproduction on the proton and the neutron is an economical single-channel model with very few parameters. Not only does the RPR model allow one to extract resonance information from the data, it has predictive power. As an example we show that the RPR model makes fair predictions for the $p(e,eK^{+})Lambda$ and the $n(gamma,K^{+})Sigma ^{-}$ observables starting from amplitudes optimized for the reaction $p(gamma, K ^{+})Lambda$ and $p(gamma,K^{+})Sigma ^{0}$ respectively.

We present predictions for n(gamma,K+)Sigma- differential cross sections and photon-beam asymmetries and compare them to recent LEPS data. We adapt a Regge-plus-resonance (RPR) model developed to describe photoinduced and electroinduced kaon production off protons. The non-resonant contributions to the amplitude are modelled in terms of K+(494) and K*+(892) Regge-trajectory exchange. This amplitude is supplemented with a selection of s-channel resonance diagrams. The three Regge-model parameters of the n(gamma,K+)Sigma- amplitude are derived from the ones fitted to proton data through SU(2) isospin considerations. A fair description of the n(gamma,K+)Sigma- data is realized, which demonstrates the Regge models robustness and predictive power. Conversion of the resonances couplings from the proton to the neutron is more challenging, as it requires knowledge of the photocoupling helicity amplitudes. We illustrate how the uncertainties of the helicity amplitudes propagate and heavily restrain the predictive power of the RPR and isobar models for kaon production off neutron targets.
We address the issue of unbiased model selection and propose a methodology based on Bayesian inference to extract physical information from kaon photoproduction $p(gamma,K^+)Lambda$ data. We use the single-channel Regge-plus-resonance (RPR) framework for $p(gamma,K^+)Lambda$ to illustrate the proposed strategy. The Bayesian evidence Z is a quantitative measure for the models fitness given the worlds data. We present a numerical method for performing the multidimensional integrals in the expression for the Bayesian evidence. We use the $p(gamma,K^+)Lambda$ data with an invariant energy W > 2.6 GeV in order to constrain the background contributions in the RPR framework with Bayesian inference. Next, the resonance information is extracted from the analysis of differential cross sections, single and double polarization observables. This background and resonance content constitutes the basis of a model which is coined RPR-2011. It is shown that RPR-2011 yields a comprehensive account of the kaon photoproduction data and provides reasonable predictions for $p(e,e K^+)Lambda$ observables.
We present a Regge-inspired effective-Lagrangian framework for kaon photoproduction from the deuteron. Quasi-free kaon production is investigated using the Regge-plus-resonance (RPR) elementary operator within the relativistic plane-wave impulse approximation. The RPR model was developed to describe photoinduced and electroinduced charged-kaon production off protons. We show how this elementary operator can be transformed in order to account for the production of neutral kaons from both protons and neutrons. The model results for kaon photoproduction from the deuteron compare favourably to the 2H(g,K)YN data published to date.
We present a Regge-plus-resonance (RPR) description of the p(e,eK^+)Y processes (Y=Lambda,Sigma^0) in the resonance region. The background contributions to the RPR amplitude are constrained by the high-energy p(gamma, K^+)Y data. As a result, the number of free model parameters in the resonance region is considerably reduced compared to typical effective-Lagrangian approaches. We compare a selection of RPR model variants, originally constructed to describe $KY$ photoproduction, with the world electroproduction database. The electromagnetic form factors of the intermediate N^*s and $Delta^*s are computed in the Bonn constituent-quark model. With this input, we find a reasonable description of the p(e,eK^+)Y data without adding or readjusting any parameters. It is demonstrated that the electroproduction response functions are extremely useful for fine-tuning both the background and resonant contributions to the reaction dynamics.
A chiral constituent quark model approach, embodying s- and u-channel exchanges,complemented with a Reggeized treatment for t-channel is presented. A model is obtained allowing data for $pi^- p to eta n$ and $gamma p to eta p$ to be describe satisfactorily. For the latter reaction, recently released data by CLAS and CBELSA/TAPS Collaborations in the system total energy range $1.6 lesssim W lesssim 2.8$ GeV are well reproduced due to the inclusion of Reggeized trajectories instead of simple $rho$ and $omega$ poles. Contribution from missing resonances is found to be negligible in the considered processes.
