In addition to the \"background\" contributions from the contact, $t-$channel $K$ exchange, and $s-$channel nucleon pole terms, which were already considered in previous works, the contribution from the nucleon resonance $N^*(2080)$ (spin-parity $J^P = 3/2^-$) is also considered. We show that the inclusion of the nucleon resonance $N^*(2080)$ leads to a fairly good description of the new LEPS differential cross section data, and that these measurements can be used to determine some of the properties of this latter resonance. However, serious discrepancies appear when the predictions of the model are compared to the photon-beam asymmetry also measured by the LEPS Collaboration.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v2", "updated": "2010-10-20T07:55:01.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "14.20.Gk", "13.75.Cs", "13.60.Rj" ], "keywords": [ "leps differential cross section data", "nucleon resonance", "channel nucleon pole terms", "lagrangian method", "contribution" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "publication": { "publisher": "APS", "journal": "Physical Review C", "year": 2010, "month": "Oct", "volume": 82, "number": 4, "pages": "045205" }, "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 9, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "inspire": 861808, "adsabs": "2010PhRvC..82d5205X" } } }
