$\Lambda(1405)$ and $\Sigma(1385)$ Photoproduction at LEPS/SPring-8

We have measured d$\sigma$/dt for $\gamma + p$ $\rightarrow$ $K^{+}$ + $\Lambda{(1405)}$ and $\gamma + p$ $\rightarrow$ $K^{+}$ + $\Sigma{(1385)}$ reactions on the Liquid Hydrogen target at $E_{\gamma}$ = 1.5 - 2.4 GeV by using a linearly polarized photon beam. From the t - distribution we have estimated the contribution of t - channel kaon exchange in the $\Sigma{(1385)}$ and $\Lambda {(1405)}$ photoproduction processes.
