The Λ polarization and the differential cross section for the reaction γ+ p→ K++ Λ have been measured, using the Caltech synchrotron, at 90 in the cm system and at laboratory photon energies of 1100, 1200, and 1300 MeV. Protons from the asymmetric decay of the Λ were detected by counters placed above and below the production plane. Kaons were identified by their behavior in a thick range telescope. Polarization results were P Λ=+ 0.34±0.09 at 1100 MeV,+ 0.30±0.07 at 1200 MeV, and+ 0.08±0.07 at 1300 MeV, where P Λ was measured in the p^ γ× p^ Λ direction. The differential cross section was constant with energy at 0.14±0.01 μb/sr. Although the apparent bump in the polarization at 90 at a total energy of≈ 1700 MeV adds support to models which invoke a resonance here, no really new conclusions can be reached.
