Abstract

We have constructed the formulation of scattering amplitude for kaon photoproduction off a proton that includes nucleon resonances with spins 7/2 and 9/2. To this end we start with the formalism of projection operator for higher spins and derive the spins 7/2 and 9/2 projection operators. The corresponding Feynman propagators are obtained from these projection operators. To calculate the scattering amplitude we use the vertex factor proposed by Pascalutsa. The scattering amplitudes are then decomposed into six Lorentz-and gauge-invariant amplitudes, from which the cross section and polarization observables can be calculated.
