Abstract
We report a measurement of a beam–target double-polarisation observable (E) for the γn(p) →
K +−(p) reaction. The data were obtained impinging the circularly-polarised energy-tagged photon
beam of Hall B at Jefferson Lab on a longitudinally-polarised frozen-spin hydrogen deuteride (HD) nuclear
target. The E observable for an effective neutron target was determined for centre-of-mass energies
1.70 ≤ W ≤ 2.30 GeV, with reaction products detected over a wide angular acceptance by the CLAS
spectrometer. These new double-polarisation data give unique constraints on the strange decays of
excited neutron states. Inclusion of the new data within the Bonn-Gatchina theoretical model results
in significant changes for the extracted photocouplings of a number of established nucleon resonances.
Possible improvements in the PWA description of the experimental data with additional “missing”
resonance states, including the N(2120)3/2−
resonance, are also quantified.
