Ratio ofσL/σTforp(e,e'

Abstract: The ratio of longitudinal to transverse structure functions, σ L /σ T , has been extracted from recent beam-recoil transferred polarization data for the p( e, e ′ K + ) Λ reaction. Results have been obtained for W =1.72, 1.84, and 1.98 GeV at an average Q 2 of 0.77, 0.69, and 0.61 GeV 2 , respectively. Our results indicate a ratio that is systematically slightly smaller than previously published results using a Rosenbluth separation.

“…K > 0.5 where t-channel processes dominate, suggesting a dominant influence of the transverse component of the virtual photon. Previous electroproduction results from CLAS [35,37,50] showed that σ L is small in this kinematic range, even at backward kaon angles. However, the large difference between the photo-and electroproduction results seen here suggests that although the longitudinal polarization of the virtual photon by itself may not play a significant role, even a small contribution in the interference terms may cause a sizable contribution for this observable.…”

“…Our previously published polarization transfer results [10] taken at a beam energy of 2.567 GeV were used to extract R σ at cos θ c.m. K = 1 for three points of W and Q 2 [23]. In a similar way, R σ can be extracted from the 4.261 and 5.754 GeV CLAS data.…”

“…Following the procedure defined in Ref. [23], the extrapolation is actually performed by summing the P ′ z ′ and P ′ z components into a new quantity R sum (see Table III σ U at our kinematic points.…”

“…The CLAS program has yielded by far the most extensive and precise measurements of KY electroproduction data ever measured across the nucleon resonance region. These measurements have included the separated structure functions σ T , σ L , σ U = σ T + ǫσ L , σ LT , σ T T , and σ LT ′ for K + Λ and K + Σ 0 [13,14,15,16], recoil polarization for K + Λ [17], and beam-recoil transferred polarization for K + Λ and K + Σ 0 [18,19]. For the hyperon polarization measurements, we have taken advantage of the self-analyzing nature of the weak decay of the Λ.…”
