The search for missing nucleon resonances using coupled channel analysis has
mostly been concentrated on NÏ€ and KY channels, while the contributions
of K∗Y and KY∗ channels have not been investigated thoroughly mostly due
to the lack of data. With an integrated luminosity of about 75 pb−1, the
photoproduction data using a proton target recently collected by the CLAS
Collaboration at Jefferson Lab with a photon energy range of 1.5-3.8 GeV
provided large statistics for the study of light hyperon photoproduction
through exclusive reactions. The reaction γp→K+Λπ0 has
been investigated. Preliminary results of the K∗+Λ and
K+Σ(1385) cross sections are not negligible compared with the KY
channels. The Λπ0 invariant mass spectrum is dominated by the
Σ(1385) signal and no significant structure was found around the
Σ(1480) region.Comment: 4 pages, 3 figures, to be publised on the NSTAR05 proceeding
