Microscopic Investigation of Gauge-Restoration Procedures for Strangeness Photoproduction — •Olaf Scholten1 and Alexander Korchin2 — 1KVI, 9747 AA Groningen, The Netherlands — 2NSC KIPT, 61108 Kharkov, Ukraine
We have calculated[1] loop corrections to the strong K+pΛ vertex as well as the additional 4-point amplitude in an effective Lagrangian model for photo-induced K+ Λ production off the proton. The main focus in our gauge-invariant approach has been on the scalar amplitude A2(s,t). The results were compared with two commonly used phenomenological procedures, namely Ohta’s minimal-substitution method[2] and Davidson - Workman’s recipe[3].
The calculation shows that there is a strong cancellation between 3-point loop corrections, often parameterized via form factors, and 4-point loop corrections, often written as contact terms restoring gauge invariance. In addition it is shown that the form factors usually taken in phenomenological approaches, may not be realistic. In a microscopic model the form factors are necessarily complex, with cusp structures in the real part. Non-trivial structures of the form factors extracted from a microscopic calculation were also observed in[4].
