Abstract
Cross sections for the d(e,e′K +)Λ n and p(e, e′K +)Λ reactions are calculated in a relativistic framework for different sets of amplitudes obtained from a photoproduction ( γ p a ̊ K +Λ ) analysis. Elementary electroproduction measurements favor one set and adjusting the poorly known kaon electromagnetic form factor provides a reasonable description of the data. Coincident count rates documenting the experimental feasibility of inclusive d(e,e′K +)Λ n measurements are presented along with a study accessing the uncertainty of the entire calculation. The utility of this reaction for investigating final state KN, ΛN interactions and possible strange baryon, dibaryon resonances is discussed.
