Abstract

For the first time,the p(e, eʹK+)Λ,Σᵒ reaction will be studied above the resonance region with the intent of extracting the separated cross sections (L/T/LT/TT) using the Rosenbluth separation technique. During the experiment, p(e, eʹp) πᵒ, ƞ, ρ , ω , ƞʹ , ø reactions will also be detected. The kinematic settings used in this experiment range from 0.40 GeV2 ≤ Q2 ≥ 5.5 GeV2 (photon virtuality) with 2.32 GeV ≤ W ≤ 3.37 GeV (hadronic invariant mass) and 0.064 GeV2 ≤ -t ≤ 0.531 GeV2 (four momentum transfer). By using these settings in the SIMC (Standard Hall C Monte Carlo package) simulations,estimates of backward-angle meson production rates were determined, and the feasibility of their measurements was studied.
