Ξ∗ productions with Regge contribution

In this paper, we study the production of excited [Formula: see text] hyperons in the proton–kaon collision [Formula: see text]. The reaction mechanism is described using an effective Lagrangian approach, while the u-channel contribution is treated within a Reggeized baryon exchange model. The coupling constants for the [Formula: see text] states are determined using a constituent quark model based on a quark–diquark description of baryon wave functions. Within this framework, we predict the relative production rates of [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text], and several [Formula: see text] excited states. We also briefly discuss the production rates of the [Formula: see text] states within the present framework.
