Exclusive electromagnetic production of strangeness on the nucleon: Regge analysis of recent data

Abstract

In view of the numerous experimental results recently released, we provide in this paper an update on the performance of our simple Regge model for strangeness electroproduction on the nucleon. Without refitting any parameters, a decent description of all measured observables and channels is achieved. We also give predictions for spin transfer observables, recently measured at Jefferson Lab, which have high sensitivity to discriminate between different theoretical approaches.
