The $\bar{K} N \rightarrow K \Xi$ reaction in coupled channel chiral models up to next-to-leading order

Abstract

We study the meson-baryon interaction in S-wave in the strangeness S=-1 sector using a chiral unitary approach based on a next-to-leading order chiral SU(3) Lagrangian. We fit our model to the large set of experimental data in different two-body channels. We pay particular attention to the $\bar{K} N \rightarrow K \Xi$ reaction, where the effect of the next-to-leading order terms in the Lagrangian are sufficiently large to be observed, since at tree level the cross section of this reaction is zero. For these channels we improve our approach by phenomenologically taking into account effects of the high spin hyperonic resonances.Comment: 8 pages, 4 figures, presented at the II Russian-Spanish Congress "Particle and Nuclear Physics at all Scales and Cosmology", Saint-Petersburg, October 1-4, 2013. arXiv admin note: text overlap with arXiv:1311.5025; and with arXiv:hep-ph/0505239 by other author
