Determining the $Θ^+$ quantum numbers through a Kaon induced reaction

Abstract

We study the $K^+p\to π^+KN$ reaction with kinematical condition suited to the production of the $Θ^+$ resonance. It is shown that in this reaction with the polarization experiment, a combined consideration of the strength at the peak and the angular dependence of cross section can help determine the $Θ^+$ quantum numbers.
