The Weak Production of Λ Particles Near Threshold in Electron Proton Scattering and the Form Factor Contributions
Abstract
We obtain the differential cross sections near threshold for the reaction e^- + p --> Λ +νe for electron energies of 194.25 MeV, 195 MeV, 200 MeV. and 205 MeV. We do this because two experiments at the Thomas Jeffereson National Accelerator Facility have been proposed to study this reaction. We discuss the possibility of obtaining the neutrino mass in such an experiment as has been proposed. We also obtain contributions from the individual form factors and cross terms, particularly the parity violating ones to determine the possibility of observing them.
