Abstract

The J\"ulich-Bonn coupled-channel framework is extended to K+ΛK^+\Lambda photoproduction. The spectrum of nucleon and Δ\Delta resonances is extracted from simultaneous fits to several pion-induced reactions in addition to pion, eta and K+ΛK^+\Lambda photoproduction off the proton. More than 40,000 data points up to a center-of-mass energy of E\sim2.3 GeV including recently measured double-polarization observables are analyzed. The influence of the γpK+Λ\gamma p\to K^+\Lambda channel on the extracted resonance parameters and the appearance of states not seen in other channels is investigated. The J\"ulich-Bonn model includes effective three-body channels and guarantees unitarity and analyticity, which is a prerequisite for a reliable determination of the resonance spectrum in terms of poles and residues.
