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.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v2", "updated": "2011-08-11T10:03:18.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "14.20.Gk", "13.75.Cs", "13.60.Rj" ], "keywords": [ "differential cross section", "bump structure", "resonance interpretation", "leps differential cross-section data", "nucleon resonance" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "publication": { "doi": "10.1063/1.3701247" }, "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 4, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "inspire": 920557, "adsabs": "2012AIPC.1432..353X" } } }
