Abstract

We present a perturbative calculation of baryon pair production in two-photon collisions, γγ → BB, in which baryons are treated as quark-diquark systems. Our approach accounts for constituent mass effects in a systematic way. Taking the diquark-model parameters from foregoing studies of other electron- and photon-induced baryonic reactions, our results agree well with the most recent large momentum-transfer data for the p¯p, ΛΛ, and Σ0Σ¯0 channels.

Keywords
