Physics Motivation
• Its production mechanism is poorly understood due to lack of data.
• Existing data suggest dominance of t-channel processes and K, K* exchange.
• Several model predictions for total and differential cross sections are available.
• Measurement of cross section and decay angular distribution can provide
constraints on model prediction and insights into the production mechanism.
• Possible missing N* resonances may decay through strange channels.

Summary• The Λ*(1520) differential and total cross sections up to 5.5 GeV on Proton
are extracted. The total cross section is in good agreement with the world
data.
• The Λ*(1520) differential and total cross sections on Neutron are obtained
for the first time. The cross section is about 70% of the proton channel
result, which is much larger than what the theory predicted.
• There is no sign of resonance structures at the covered forward kaon
angles.
• Λ*(1520) decay angle distributions in Gottfried-Jackson frame show
complicated structures indicating that both K and K* exchanges contribute
to the two reaction channels. 27

• Electroproduction of L* off Proton has been studied at DESY and CLAS
• CLAS data (S. Barrow, e1c) showed– Dominance of t-channel process
confirmed– Decay angular distribution showed
significant contribution from mz=±1/2 spin projection
