Abstract
The radiative decay \Lambda(1520) --> \Lambda \gamma was measured directly in the study of exclusive diffractive-like reaction p + N --> \Lambda(1520) K^+ + N, \Lambda(1520) --> \Lambda \gamma with the SPHINX spectrometer. The values of the branching and partial width of this radiative decay were obtained: BR[\Lambda(1520) --> \Lambda \gamma] = (1.02+/-0.21(stat)+/-0.15(syst))x10^{-2} and \Gamma[\Lambda(1520) --> \Lambda \gamma] = 159+/-33(stat)+/-26(syst) keV.
Comment: More detailed treatment of systematical uncertainties, minor clarifications and corrections, significant improvements in English. 18 pages, 6 figures, accepted by Phys.Lett.B
