Abstract

The double polarization (beam-recoil) observables \(\ensuremath O_x\) and \(\ensuremath O_z\) have been measured for the reaction \( \gamma\) pK + \( \Lambda\) from threshold production to \(\ensuremath E_{\gamma} \sim 1500\) MeV. The data were obtained with the linearly polarized beam of the GRAAL facility. Values for the target asymmetry T could also be extracted despite the use of an unpolarized target. Analyses of our results by two isobar models tend to confirm the necessity to include new or poorly known resonances in the 1900MeV mass region.
