Abstract

Background: Measurements of the polarization observables Σ, P, T, O_x, O_zfor the reaction ^→𝛾p →K⁰_SΣ⁺ using a linearly polarized photon beam of energy 1.1 to 2.1 GeV are reported.

Purpose: The measured data provide information on a channel that has not been studied extensively, but is required for a full coupled-channel analysis in the nucleon resonance region.

Method: Observables have been simultaneously extracted using likelihood sampling with a Markov-Chain Monte Carlo process.

Results: Angular distributions in bins of photon energy E_γ are produced for each polarization observable. T,O_x,and O_zare first time measurements of these observables in this reaction. The extraction of Σ extends the energy range beyond a previous measurement. The measurement of P, the recoil polarization, is consistent with previous measurements.

Conclusions: The measured data are shown to be significant enough to affect the estimation of the nucleonresonance parameters when fitted within a coupled-channels model.
