Nucleon resonances in the $γp \to ϕK^+ Λ$ reaction near threshold

We investigate the $γp \to ϕK^+ Λ$ reaction near threshold within an effective Lagrangian approach and the isobar model. Various nucleon resonances caused by the $π$ and $η$ meson exchanges and background contributions are considered. It is shown that the contribution from the $N^*(1535)$ resonance caused by the $η$ meson exchange plays the predominant role. Hence, this reaction provides a good new platform to study the $N^*(1535)$ resonance. The predicted total cross section and specific features of angular distributions can be tested by future experiments.
