What is the Λ(145)? **** resonance just below NK threshold ( 1435 MeV) I(J P ) = ( 1 ) [experimentally unconfirmed until now] Decays exclusively to (Σπ) Past experiments have found the lineshape (= invariant Σπ mass distribution) is distorted from a simple Breit-Wigner form Main Question: What is the nature of this distorted lineshape?

The Lineshape of the Λ(145) Several theories exist on the nature of the distorted lineshape All theories agree that there is a strong coupling between the Σπ channel (below NK threshold) NK channel (above NK threshold) Various theories: normal qqq-baryon resonance (the constituent quark model has difficulty with Λ(145) mass) unstable bound state of NK (promoted by Dalitz and others) qqqqq dynamically generated resonance in unitary coupled channel approach K.

Conclusion Most precise measurement of Λ(145) for any reaction Strong hints of dynamical nature Difference in lineshapes observed Strong effects of both isospin I = and I = 1 Hints of dynamical nature of Λ(145)? Shifts in opposite direction compared to theory Difference in dσ/dcosθ c.m. behavior observed K Again, effects of both isospin I = and I = 1 Cross sections for Σ(1385) and Λ(15) also measured K.
