TI - On the ΣN cusp in the pp → pK+Λ reaction JO - The European physical journal / A VL - 49 IS - 3 SN - 1434-601X CY - Berlin PB - Springer M1 - FZJ-2013-05110 SP - 41 PY - 2013 AB - Measurements of the pp → pK (+) Λ reaction at T ( )p( ) = 2.28 GeV have been carried out at COSY-TOF. In addition to the Λp FSI and N (*) resonance excitation effects a pronounced narrow structure is observed in the Dalitz plot and in its projection on the pΛ invariant mass. The strongly asymmetric structure appears at the pp → NK (+) Σ threshold and is interpreted as the ΣN cusp effect. The observed width of about 20 MeV/c (2) is substantially broader than anticipated from previous measurements as well as theoretical predictions. Angular distributions of this cusp structure are shown to be dissimilar to those in the residual pK (+) Λ channel, but similar to those observed in the pK (+) Σ (0) channel.
