The $\gamma p \to K^+ \pi^0 \Lambda$ and $\gamma p \to K^+ \pi \Sigma $ reactions are studied in the kinematic region where the $\pi^0 \Lambda$(1116) and $\pi\Sigma$(1192) pairs originate dominantly from the decay of the $\Sigma$(1385) and…
Multiple polarization observables must be measured to access the amplitude structure of pseudoscalar meson photoproduction off the proton. The hyperon-producing reactions are especially attractive to study, since the weak decays allow…
