Abstract
The mechanism for the formation of the \(\varLambda (1405)\) resonance is studied in a chiral quark model that includes quark-meson as well as contact (four point) interactions. The negative-parity S-wave scattering amplitudes for strangeness \(-1\) and 1 are calculated within a unified coupled-channel framework that includes the KN, \(\bar{K}N\), \(\pi \varSigma \), \(\eta \varLambda \), \(K\varXi \), \(\pi \varLambda \), and \(\eta \varSigma \) channels and possible genuine three-quark bare singlet and octet states corresponding to \(\frac{1}{2}^-\) resonances. It is found that in order to reproduce the scattering amplitudes in the \(S_{01}\) partial wave it is important to include the pertinent three-quark octet states as well as the singlet state, while the inclusion of the contact term is not mandatory. The Laurent-Pietarinen expansion is used to determine the S-matrix poles. Following their evolution as a function of increasing interaction strength, the mass of the singlet state is strongly reduced due to the attractive self-energy in the \(\pi \varSigma \) and \(\bar{K}N\) channels; when it drops below the KN threshold, the state acquires a dominant \(\bar{K}N\) component which can be identified with a molecular state. The attraction between the kaon and the nucleon is generated through the \(\bar{K}N\varLambda ^*\) interaction rather than by meson-nucleon forces.

The Cloudy Bag Model meson-quark vertices and coupling constants
The s-wave quark-meson vertices \(\hat{V}(k)\) in Eq. (11) are evaluated in the Cloudy Bag Model assuming that in the resonant state one of the three quarks is excited from the 1s state to the \(1p_{1/2}\) state.
For the quark part of the quark-pion, quark-eta meson and quark-kaon interaction we obtain
Here \(\mathcal {P}_{sp} =\sum _{m_j}|sm_j\rangle \langle p_{1/2}m_j|\), \(\omega _s=2.043\), \(\omega _{p_{1/2}}=3.811\), \(X(K^0)= -(\lambda _6- i\lambda _7)/\sqrt{2}\), \(X(\bar{K}^0)= -(\lambda _6+i\lambda _7)/\sqrt{2}\), \(X(K^+)= -(\lambda _4- i\lambda _5)/\sqrt{2}\), \(X(K^-)= (\lambda _4+ i\lambda _5)/\sqrt{2}\). Assuming \(f_\eta =f_K=f_\pi \), the form-factors of the surface part and of the volume part take the form
For the physical \(\eta \) we assume \(\eta = \cos \theta _P\eta _8-\sin \theta _P\eta _1 \), for the singlet \(\eta _1\) \(\lambda _8\) is replaced by \(\lambda _1\) in Eq. (20).
The coupling constants for the s-channel exchange potential are collected in Table 4, those for the u-channel exchange potential involving strange baryons in Table 5, and for exchange of nonstrange baryons in Table 6.
Contact interaction
For the s-wave mesons the contact interaction can be cast in the form
Here \(g_{\alpha \beta }\) can be identified with \(-2f_\pi ^2\lambda ^I_{\alpha \beta }\) of [26] and \({\textstyle {\frac{1}{2}}}\mathcal {D}_{\alpha \beta }\) of [11] and are collected in Table 7.
Oset [11] has an opposite sign for \(\bar{K}N\leftrightarrow \pi \varSigma \), which is compensated by changing the sign for \(\varSigma ^*\rightarrow \pi \varSigma \).
