Electroproduction of $K^{+}$ Mesons in the Forward Direction

We present data on electroproduction of

K^{+}

mesons off protons. Measurements were made at data points with nominal (

Q^{2}

W

) values of (0.6, 2.67), (1.2, 2.67), (2.0, 2.67), and (1.2, 2.15) in (Ge

V^{2}

, GeV). The virtual photoproduction cross section for

K^{+}

+MM is studied as a function of missing mass,

x^{'}

{P_{⊥}}^{2}

Q^{2}

, and

W

. The data show that the

K^{+} Σ^{0}

cross section falls more rapidly than the

K^{+} Λ^{0}

cross section as

Q^{2}

increases.
