Abstract
We discuss the role of hyperon resonances in the u-channel
when modeling
processes in an
effective Lagrangian approach. Without the introduction of hyperon
resonances, one is forced to use soft hadronic form
factors with a cutoff mass which is at best two times the kaon mass.
After inclusion of the hyperon resonances in the u-channel, we obtain
a fair description of the data with a cutoff mass of the order of 1.8
GeV.
