For $\\pi^- p \\to K^0 \\Lambda(1520)$ reaction, in addition to the \"background\" contributions from $t-$channel $K^*$ exchange, $u-$channel $\\Sigma^+$ exchange, and $s-$channel nucleon pole terms, we also consider the contribution from the nucleon resonance $N^*(2080)$ (spin-parity $J^P = 3/2^-$), which has significant coupling to $K\\Lambda(1520)$ channel. We show that the inclusion of the nucleon resonance $N^*(2080)$ leads to a fairly good description of the low energy experimental total cross section data of $\\pi^- p \\to K^0 \\Lambda(1520)$ reaction. From fitting to the experimental data, we get the $N^*(2080)N\\pi$ coupling constant $g_{N^*(2080)N \\pi} = 0.14 \\pm 0.04$. By using this value and with the assumption that the excitation of $N^*(2080)$ is due to the $\\pi^0$-meson exchanges, we calculate the total and differential cross sections of $p p \\to p K^+ \\Lambda(1520)$ reaction. We also demonstrate that the invariant mass distribution and the Dalitz Plot provide direct information of the $\\Lambda(1520)$ production, which can be tested by future experiments.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v2", "updated": "2013-05-07T00:34:40.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "14.20.Gk", "13.30.Eg", "13.75.Cs" ], "keywords": [ "low energy experimental total cross", "experimental total cross section data", "energy experimental total cross section", "channel nucleon pole terms", "nucleon resonance" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "publication": { "publisher": "APS", "journal": "Physical Review C", "doi": "10.1103/PhysRevC.87.045210", "year": 2013, "month": "Apr", "volume": 87, "number": 4, "pages": "045210" }, "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 9, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "inspire": 1217571, "adsabs": "2013PhRvC..87d5210X" } } }
