Partial Wave Analysis of the photoproduction γp→K+Λ0

We obtained the parameters of the intensity equation for the photoproduction γp → Λ0 K+ in bins of t. A fit with four-dimensional observable space was done to obtain five free real-valued parameters. The five parameters, Σ, T, P, Ox, and Oz, that are unknown for real data, resemble that of quantum numbers of the exchange particle of the reaction. The beam asymmetry Σ aligns mostly with +1, which correlates with a natural exchange particle in the photoproduction collision. Determining parameters to various equations is a common goal in particle physics with unknown variables that nature has set. Using partial wave analysis we can determine the coefficients describing the photoproduction reaction. We used data from the GlueX experiment at Jefferson Lab to fit the intensity equation and determine these parameters.
