We investigate the photoproduction of Lambda(1405,1/2^-) = Lambda* off the proton target using the effective Lagrangian in the Born approximation. We observed that, depending on the choice of the K* N Lambda* coupling strength, the total cross section becomes 0.1 <~ sigma_Lambda* <~ 0.2 mu b near the threshold and starts to decrease beyond E_gamma ~ 1.6 GeV, and the angular dependence shows a mild enhancement in the forward direction. It turns out that the energy dependence of the total cross section is similar to that shown in the recent LEPS experiment. This suggests that the production mechanism of the Lambda* is dominated by the s-channel contribution.

We investigate the photoproduction of $K^*$ vector meson for the study of the $Lambda(1405)$ resonance. The invariant mass distribution of $piSigma$ shows a different shape from the nominal one, peaking at 1420 MeV. This is considered as a consequence of the double pole structure of $Lambda(1405)$, predicted in the chiral unitary model. Combined with other reactions, such as $pi^- p to K^0 piSigma$, experimental confirmation of this fact will reveal a novel structure of the $Lambda(1405)$ state.
Since the discovery of the $Lambda(1405)$, it remains poorly described by conventional constituent quark models, and it is a candidate for having an exotic meson-baryon or penta-quark structure, similar to states recently reported in the hidden charm sector. The $Lambda(1405)$ can be produced in the reaction $gamma p rightarrow K^+Lambda(1405)$. The pure I=0 decay mode into $Sigma^0pi^0$ is prohibited for the mass-overlapping $Sigma(1385)$. Combining a large aperture forward magnetic spectrometer and a central BGO crystal calorimeter, the BGO-OD experiment is ideally suited to measure this decay with the $K^+$ in the forward direction. Preliminary results are presented. *Supported by DFG (PN 388979758, 405882627).
The photo-induced $K^*$ vector meson production is investigated for the study of the $Lambda(1405)$ resonance. This reaction is particularly suited to the isolation of the second pole in the $Lambda(1405)$ region which couples dominantly to the $bar K N$ channel. We obtain the mass distribution of the $Lambda(1405)$ which peaks at 1420 MeV, and differs from the nominal one. Combined with several other reactions, like the $pi^- p to K^0 pi Sigma$ which favours the first pole, this detailed study will reveal a novel structure of the $Lambda(1405)$ state.
We discuss several aspects of the Lambda(1405) resonance in relation to the recent theoretical developments in chiral dynamics. We derive an effective single-channel KbarK N interaction based on chiral SU(3) coupled-channel approach, emphasizing the important role of the pi Sigma channel and the structure of the Lambda(1405) in Kbar N phenomenology. In order to clarify the structure of the resonance, we study the behavior with the number of colors (Nc) of the poles associated with the Lambda(1405), and argue the physical meaning of the renormalization procedure.
Differential cross sections and photon-beam asymmetries for the gamma p -> K+ Lambda(1520) reaction have been measured with linearly polarized photon beams at energies from the threshold to 2.4 GeV at 0.6<cos(theta)<1. A new bump structure was found at W=2.11 GeV in the cross sections. The bump is not well reproduced by theoretical calculations introducing a nucleon resonance with J<=3/2. This result suggests that the bump might be produced by a nucleon resonance possibly with J>=5/2 or by a new reaction process, for example an interference effect with the phi photoproduction having a similar bump structure in the cross sections.
