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>of the 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 signicantly 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).</div><br></div></blockquote></div><br></div></div></body></html>
