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 available data on the $Q^2$ dependence of the $\gamma\gamma*(Q^2)\to K\bar K\pi$ reaction cross section in the energy region 1.35-1.55 GeV is explained by the $\eta(1475)$ resonance production in contrast to their conventional…
