Abstract
The CLAS detector was used to obtain the first ever measurement of the electromagnetic decay of the Σ*⁺(1385) from the reaction γp → K⁰Σ*⁺(1385). A real photon beam with a maximum energy of 3.8 GeV was incident on a liquid-hydrogen target, resulting in the photoproduction of the kaon and Σ* hyperon. Kinematic fitting was used to separate the reaction channel from the background processes. The fitting algorithm exploited a new method to kinematically fit neutrons in the CLAS detector, leading to the measured decay widths ratio: Γ(Σ⁺(1385) → Σ⁺γ) / Γ(Σ⁺(1385) → Σ⁺π⁰) = 11.95 ± 2.21 (stat) ⁺⁰.⁵³₋₁.₂₁ (sys) % and a deduced partial width of: Γ(Σ⁺(1385) → Σ⁺γ) = 250.0 ± 56.9 (stat) ⁺³⁴.³₋₄₁.² (sys) keV A U-spin symmetry test using the SU(3) flavor-multiplet representation yields predictions for the Σ*⁺(1385) → Σ⁺γ and Σ*⁰(1385) → Λγ partial widths that agree with the experimental measurements.
