Lambda(1520)->Lambda Gamma Radiative-Decay Width

The radiative decay Lambda(1520) -> Lambda gamma was recorded in the exclusive reaction p + N -> Lambda(1520)K+ + N at the SPHINX facility. The branching ratio for this decay and the corresponding partial width were found to be, respectively, Br[Lambda(1520) -> Lambda gamma] = (1.02 +/- 0.21) x 10(-2) and Gamma[Lambda(1520) -> Lambda gamma] = 159 +/- 35 keV (the quoted errors are purely statistical, the systematic errors being within 15%).
