Investigations of the quasifree reaction A (γ, KY) B are presented in the distorted wave
impulse approximation (DWIA). For this purpose, we present a revised tree-level model of
elementary kaon photoproduction that incorporates hadronic form factors consistent with
gauge invariance, uses SU (3) values for the Born couplings and uses resonances
consistent with multichannel analyses. The potential of exclusive quasifree kaon
photoproduction on nuclei to reveal details of the hyperon–nucleus interaction is examined …
