Bayesian inference of the missing resonances in K+Λ photoproduction

A Regge-plus-resonance framework featuring consistent couplings for nucleon resonances up to spin J = 5/2 is adopted to perform a Bayesian analysis of the world's gamma vertical bar p -> K+ vertical bar Lambda data. It is concluded that the following nucleon resonances have the highest probability of decaying into the K+ Lambda channel: S-11(1535), S-11(1650), F-15(1680), P-13(1720), D-13(1900), P-13(1900), P-11(1900), and F-15(2000).
