</b> <b>Hyperon Transition Form Factors<br>
<br>
</b></div>
<div>The electromagnetic form factors for the transition of a Sigma
to a Lambda hyperon at low energy </div>
are calculated using dispersion theory. In this approach we consider
the two pion cut of the<br>
transition, in which the imaginary part of the form factors is
written as a direct product of the<br>
two-pion-Sigma-Lambda amplitudes and the complex conjugate of the
pion form factor. A<br>
procedure combining dispersion theory and (NLO) baryon chiral
perturbation theory is also used in<br>
computing the two-pion-Sigma-Lambda amplitudes including a two pion
rescattering contribution.<br>
It is also found that the inclusion of decuplet baryons in the
intermediate state of the transition<br>
is necessary in order to obtain reasonable results consistent with
overall expectations. Through<br>
this approach, the electric transition form factor remains very
small while the magnetic form factor<br>
depends strongly on a not well defined low-energy constant of the
NLO Lagrangian. The predictive<br>
power of this approach will be enhanced by significantly
constraining this constant from a measurement <br>
of the magnetic transition radius. Such a measurement can be
performed at the future Facility<br>
for Antiproton and Ion Research (FAIR).
