The ϕ-Λ(1520) interference effect in the γp→K^{+}K^{-}p reaction has been measured for the first time in the energy range from 1.673 to 2.173 GeV. The relative phases between ϕ and Λ(1520) production amplitudes were obtained in the kinematic region where the two resonances overlap. The measurement results support strong constructive interference when K^{+}K^{-} pairs are observed at forward angles but destructive interference for proton emission at forward angles. Furthermore, the observed interference effect does not account for the sqrt[s]=2.1 GeV bump structure in forward differential cross sections for ϕ photoproduction. This fact suggests possible exotic structures such as a hidden-strangeness pentaquark state, a new Pomeron exchange, or rescattering processes via other hyperon states.
首次在1.673至2.173 GeV的能量范围内测量了γp→K⁺K⁻p反应中的ϕ - Λ(1520)干涉效应。在两个共振重叠的运动学区域获得了ϕ和Λ(1520)产生振幅之间的相对相位。测量结果表明,当在向前角度观察到K⁺K⁻对时存在强相长干涉,而对于向前角度的质子发射则存在相消干涉。此外,观察到的干涉效应并不能解释ϕ光生向前微分截面中√s = 2.1 GeV的凸起结构。这一事实表明可能存在奇异结构,如隐藏奇异五夸克态、新的坡密子交换或通过其他超子态的再散射过程。
