Bennhold %J Physics %D 2001 %I arXiv %R 10.1103/PhysRevC.64.052201 %X The photoproduction of $K^*$ vector mesons is investigated in a quark model with an effective Lagrangian. Including both baryon resonance excitations and {\it t}-channel exchanges, observables for the reactions $\gamma p\to K^{*0}\Sigma^+$ and $\gamma p\to K^{*+}\Sigma^0$ are predicted, using the SU(3)-flavor-blind assumption of non-perturbative QCD. %U http://arxiv.org/abs/nucl-th/0102043v2
