Abstract:Abstract. We investigate the role of vector mesons and coupled-channel unitarization on photoproduction reactions off the proton at energies around 2 GeV. We explain the sudden drop on the γp → K 0 Σ + cross section, observed recently by the CBELSA/TAPS collaboration, by a delicate interference between amplitudes having K * Λ and K * Σ intermediate states modulated by the presence of a nearby N * resonance produced by our model, a feature that we have employed to predict its properties. We also show the import… Show more
