Results from a partial-wave analysis of the reaction $\gamma p \rightarrow K^+ \Lambda$ are presented. The reaction is dominated by the $S_{11}(1650)$ and $P_{13}(1720)$ resonances at low energies and by $P_{13}(1900)$ at higher energies.…

The weak $\Lam N\to NN$ transition is studied in the valence quark model approach. The momentum transfer for this transition is so large that the short-distance two baryon dynamics must be taken into account. The two baryon system is…
We study the photoproduction of $K^*(892)$ vector meson from both the charged and neutral reactions, $\gamma p \to K^{*+} \Lambda$ and $\gamma n \to K^{*0} \Lambda$. The production mechanisms that we consider include $t$-channel $K^*$, $K$,…

The Lambda(1405) baryon resonance plays an outstanding role in various aspects in hadron and nuclear physics. It has been considered that the Lambda(1405) resonance is generated by the attractive interaction of the antikaon and the nucleon,…
