$K^+Lambda$(1405) photoproduction at the BGO-OD experiment

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).
