Abstract

Photoproduction of positively charged kaons from light nuclei is used to investigate the effect of relativistic bound state wave functions. These nuclear and hypernuclear shell model states are obtained by solving the Dirac equation with scalar and time‐like vector Woods‐Saxon potentials, which have been adjusted to fit binding energies. The calculations have been performed in momentum space to treat non‐localities from the production operator straightforwardly and to include Fermi motion. Significant relativistic effects are found in the full non‐local calculation, but appear much reduced in a local frozen nucleon approximation.
