Chiral SU(3) Dynamics with Coupled Channels: Inclusion of P-Wave Multipoles
Abstract
We extend our recent non-perturbative chiral SU(3) coupled channel approach to pion- and photon-induced $η$- and $K$-meson production off protons by including all strong and electromagnetic p-wave multipoles. We identify the p-wave amplitudes of the next-to-leading order SU(3) chiral meson-baryon Lagrangian with a coupled channel potential which is iterated to infinite orders in a separable Lippmann-Schwinger equation. Our approach to $η$- and $K$-photoproduction introduces no additional free parameters. By adjusting a few finite range parameters and the unknown parameters in the Lagrangian, we are able to simultaneously describe a very large amount of low-energy data. These include the total and differential cross sections of the $π$-induced reactions $π^- p \to ηn, K^0 Λ, K^0 Σ^0, K^+ Σ^-$ and $π^+ p \to K^+ Σ^+$ as well as those of photoproduction $γp \to ηp, K^+Λ, K^+ Σ^0, K^0 Σ^+$. The polarization observables measured in $η$- and $K$-photoproduction are particularly sensitive to interference terms between the s- and p-wave multipoles. The total cross section data are remarkably well reproduced in all channels. There remain, however, some open questions concerning details of angular distributions and polarization observables.
