The electromagnetic form factors of $Σ$ and $Σ^0 \to Λ$ transition in the timelike region

We investigate the $e^+e^-\to Σ\barΣ$ and $e^+e^-\to Λ\barΣ^0$ reactions within the extended vector meson dominance model. In addition to the ground state mesons $ρ$ and $ω$, we consider the contributions of the excited states $ρ(3D)$, $ω(3D)$, $ϕ(3D)$, and $ρ(6D)$. It is found that the current experimental data on the $Σ$ electromagnetic form factors in timelike region can be well reproduced. And the $ϕ(3D)$ resonance is essential to the near threshold enhancement of the cross section for the $e^+e^-\to Σ\barΣ$ reaction. Furthermore, in the $e^+e^-\to Λ\barΣ^0$ reaction, the $ρ(3D)$ is important to get a good fit for the experimental results.
