Abstract

We study the electromagnetic form factors of Λ\Lambda hyperon in the timelike region using the recent experimental data in the exclusive production of ΛˉΛ\bar{\Lambda} \Lambda pair in electron-position annihilation. We present a pQCD inspired parametrization of GE(s)G_E(s) and GM(s)G_M(s) with only two parameters, and we consider a suppression mechanism of the electric form factor GE(s)G_E(s) compared to the magnetic form factor GM(s)G_M(s). The parameters are determined through fitting our parametrization to the effective form factor data in the reaction e+eΛˉΛe^+e^-\rightarrow \bar\Lambda\Lambda. Except the threshold region, our parametrization can reproduce satisfactorily the known behavior of the existing data from the BarBar, DM2 and BESIII Collaborations. We also predict the double spin polarization observables AxxA_{xx}, AyyA_{yy} and AzzA_{zz} in e+eΛˉΛe^+e^-\rightarrow \bar\Lambda\Lambda.
