Electromagnetic Form Factors for the $\Lambda$(1405)

Abstract

Building on our successful technique to isolate the otherwise-elusive $\Lambda$(1405) using correlation matrix techniques and multiple source and sink smearings, we present calculations of the quark sector contributions to the electric form factors of the $\Lambda$(1405). Using the PACS-CS $(2+1)$-flavour full-QCD ensembles available through the ILDG, our calculations reveal behaviour consistent with the development of a non-trivial molecular $\overline{K}N$ bound-state component as one approaches the physical values of the $u$ and $d$ quark masses.
