Resumo

The ${}^{1}\mathrm{H}({e,e}^{\ensuremath{'}}{K}^{+})\ensuremath{\Lambda}$ reaction was studied as a function of the squared four-momentum transfer, ${Q}^{2}$, and the virtual photon polarization, $\ensuremath{\varepsilon}$. For each of four ${Q}^{2}$ settings, 0.52, 0.75, 1.00, and 2.00 $(\mathrm{GeV}/c{)}^{2}$, the longitudinal and transverse virtual photon cross sections were extracted in measurements at three virtual photon polarizations. The ${Q}^{2}$ dependence of the ${\ensuremath{\sigma}}_{L}/{\ensuremath{\sigma}}_{T}$ ratio differs significantly from current theoretical predictions. This, combined with the precision of the measurement, implies a need for revision of existing calculations.
