Role of the possible ${\Sigma }^{\ast }({\frac{1}{2}}^{-})$ state in the $\Lambda p\to \Lambda p{\pi }^0$ reaction

Abstract

The $\Lambda p\to \Lambda p{\pi }^0$ reaction near threshold is studied within an effective Lagrangian method. The production process is described by single-pion and single-kaon exchange. In addition to the role played by the ${\Sigma }^{\ast }(1385)$ resonance of spin-parity $J^P=3/2^{+}$, the effects of a newly proposed ${\Sigma }^{\ast }$ ($J^P=1/2^{-}$) state with mass and width around $1380$ MeV and $120$ MeV are investigated. We show that our model leads to a good description of the experimental data on the total cross section of the $\Lambda p\to \Lambda p{\pi }^0$ reaction by including the contributions from the possible ${\Sigma }^{\ast }({\frac{1}{2}}^{-})$ state. However, the theoretical calculations by considering only the ${\Sigma }^{\ast }(1385)$ resonance fail to reproduce the experimental data, especially for the enhancement close to the reaction threshold. On the other hand, it is found that the single-pion exchange is dominant. Furthermore, we also demonstrate that the angular distributions provide direct information of this reaction, hence could be useful for the investigation of the existence of the ${\Sigma }^{\ast }({\frac{1}{2}}^{-})$ state and may be tested by future experiments.
