Abstract
We calculate the differential cross section for the weak, strangeness changing, electron scattering process, e − + p → Λ + ν, for incoming electron energies of 0.5, 1.0, 2.0, 4.0, and 6.0 GeV. We obtain as well contributions of the individual form factors to the differential cross sections. We find that the differential cross sections peak as the maximal scattering angle for the Λ is approached and that the peak height increases as the electron energy is increased. The behavior of the differential cross section near the maximal angle is discussed as is the possibility of observing this reaction in a facility such as TJNAF.
