Photoproduction of Cascade Baryon Original Research Article

The photoproduction of cascade baryons off nucleons will be discussed. This is the first theoretical effort in connection to the cascade baryon spectroscopy program initiated recently at the Thomas Jefferson National Laboratory. Specifically, the reaction γN→KKΞ is studied within a relativistic meson exchange model of hadronic interactions. The basic features of this reaction and their manifestations in some of the observables are presented.
