Further evidence for N(1900)P_{13} from photoproduction of hyperons

Authors

Description

We report further evidence for $N(1900)P_{13}$ from an analysis of a large variety of photo- and pion-induced reactions, in particular from the new CLAS measurements of double polarization observables for photoproduction of hyperons. The data are consistent with two classes of solutions both requiring contributions from $N(1900)P_{13}$ but giving different $N(1900)P_{13}$ pole positions. $(M-iΓ/2) = (1915\pm50)-i(90\pm25)$ MeV covers both solutions. The small elasticity of 10% or less explains why it was difficult to observe the state in $πN$ elastic scattering. $N(1900)P_{13}$ is a 2-star resonance which is predicted by symmetric three-quark models. In diquark-quark models, the existence of the state is not expected.
