Study of $Lambda(1405)$ in photoproduction of $K^*$


Abstract in English

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.
