We study the photoproduction of the ^12{_Lambda}B hypernucleus within a fully
covariant effective Lagrangian based model, employing Lambda bound state
spinors derived from the latest quark-meson coupling model. The kaon production
vertex is described via creation, propagation and decay of N*(1650), N*(1710),
and N*(1720) intermediate baryonic resonant states in the initial collision of
the photon with a target proton in the incident channel. The parameters of the
resonance vertices are fixed by describing the total and differential cross
section data on the elementary gamma (p, K+) Lambda reaction in the energy
regime relevant to the hypernuclear production. It is found that the
hypernuclear production cross sections calculated with the quark model based
hyperon bound state spinors differ significantly from those obtained with the
phenomenological Dirac single particle wave functions.Comment: 16 pages, 5 figures, version to appear in Phys. Lett.
