HYPERON POLARIZATION IN LAMBDA P ELASTIC SCATTERING IN THE RANGE 60-GEV/C < P < 380-GEV/C

Edelman, B. ; Bunce, G. ; Devlin, T. ; et al.
Phys.Rev.Lett. 40 (1978) 491-494, 1978.
Inspire Record 131690 DOI 10.17182/hepdata.20918

Polarization of the scattered Λ has been measured in the reaction Λ+p→Λ+p. A total of 90 000 elastic events was recorded. Polarization was observed which decreased in magnitude with increasing momentum. For 0.1<~|t|<~0.4 GeV2 the polarization is P=−0.21±0.07 for p=110 GeV/c and is +0.01±0.04 at p=320 GeV/c. Results for 860 Λ¯−p elastic scatterings are also presented.

Inclusive Production of Lambda0 Hyperons by 300-GeV Protons: A-Dependence

Heller, Kenneth J. ; Skubic, P. ; Overseth, O.E. ; et al.
Phys.Rev.D 16 (1977) 2737, 1977.
Inspire Record 5680 DOI 10.17182/hepdata.24477

Inclusive production of Λ0 hyperons by 300-GeV protons has been measured at fixed production angles in the laboratory between 0 and 9 mrad and laboratory momenta from 65 to 300 GeV/c. Three different solid targets were used: beryllium, copper, and lead. The A dependence of the data is suggestive of a collision model in which the hadron loses energy and gains transverse momentum as it leaves the nucleus. The experimental results are compared to such a model, and the implications are discussed.

Measurement of $\phi$ Production in Proton - Nucleus Collisions at 400 GeV/c

Akerlof, C.W. ; Alley, P. ; Bintinger, D. ; et al.
Phys.Rev.Lett. 39 (1977) 861, 1977.
Inspire Record 120734 DOI 10.17182/hepdata.20951

We have measured the invariant cross section for inclusive ϕ production in proton-nucleus collisions at 400 GeV/c near Feynman x=0. For transverse momenta in the range between 0.8 and 3.5 GeV/c the ratio of ϕ to π− rises from 1 to 7%. We also report on correlations with particles opposite the ϕ in the center-of-mass system as they relate to the Okubo-Zweig-Iizuka rule.

Backward Production in pi- p --> p pi+ pi- pi- at 8-GeV/c

Abashian, A. ; Eisenstein, Bob I. ; Hansen, J.D. ; et al.
Phys.Rev.D 13 (1976) 5, 1976.
Inspire Record 98566 DOI 10.17182/hepdata.24787

We have studied backward baryon and meson production in π−p→pπ+π−π− at 8.0 GeV/c using a streamer chamber triggered by the detection of a fast forward proton. Our data sample (1227 events) displays prominent N*ρ and N*f quasi-two-body production. These states are investigated with regard to the peripheral nature of the production mechanism and sequential decay of the excited baryon and meson systems. The quasi-two-body production of N*ρ and N*f intermediate states is consistent with u-channel proton exchange as the dominant production mechanism. In the π+π−π− mass distribution we observe a 3- to 4- standard-deviation enhancement at M3π=1897±17 MeV/c2 with full width at half maximum = 110 ± 82 MeV/c2, but find no but find no evidence for backward A1 or A2 production. We observe Δ++(1232) production in the pπ+ effective mass distribution.

Measurement of the Reactions K- p --> Sigma+ pi- and pi- p --> p pi- Near the Backward Direction at 3.0-GeV/c and 5.1-GeV/c

Hoffman, E.W. ; Dixon, Roger L. ; Fletcher, J.M. ; et al.
Phys.Rev.Lett. 35 (1975) 138-141, 1975.
Inspire Record 2233 DOI 10.17182/hepdata.21176

We have measured differential cross sections for K−p→Σ+π− and π−p→pπ− at 3.0 and 5.1 GeV/c near the backward direction. At 3.0 GeV/c both have a dip near −u∼0.1 (GeV/c)2. At 5.1 GeV/c, dσdu for π−p→pπ− falls exponentially with slope 3.8±0.1 (GeV/c)−2 whereas dudσ for K−p→Σ+π− exhibits a decreasing slope for larger |u|. These data are discussed in terms of SU(3), and the relative importance of the helicity-flip and -non-flip amplitudes is investigated.

The Production of the Omega0 Meson in the Reaction pi+ d --> p (Spectator) p Omega0 at 4-GeV/c

Emms, M.J. ; Kinson, J.B. ; Stacey, B.J. ; et al.

Inspire Record 100077 DOI 10.17182/hepdata.31856

The reaction π + n → ω 0 p has been studied at 4 GeV/ c giving a total cross section of 313 ± 26 μ b. The sample of about 3500 ω 0 events produced in the forward direction has been used to determine the differential cross section and the spin density matrix elements. The effective trajectory for unnatural parity exchange has been determined by a comparison of ϱ 00 d σ /d t at different energies. A comparison of ϱ 00 d σ /d t has been made with the similar data for ϱ 0 production in this experiment allowing π-B exchange degeneracy and ϱ-ω interference to be investigated. These methods result in an unnatural trajectory consistent with that expected for the B-meson. A further study of ϱ-ω interference has been made by comparing the reactions π + n → ω 0 p and π − p → ω 0 n at similar energies. Our results on ω and ϱ production are combined with data on K ∗0 and K ∗0 production at 4 GeV/ c and an SU(3) sum rule relating the production of these four mesons is shown to be satisfied.

A partial wave analysis of the reaction π + n → π + π − π 0 p yields an A 0 2 production cross section of 225 ± 30μb for momentum transfer squared < 1 (GeV/ c ) 2 ; the differential cross-section and density matrix are presented and compared with ω 0 production in the light of theoretical models.

Search for structure in pi- p ---> lambda k0 at sigma k threshold

Nelson, B. ; Knasel, T.M. ; Lindquist, J. ; et al.
Phys.Rev.Lett. 31 (1973) 901-904, 1973.
Inspire Record 83771 DOI 10.17182/hepdata.21338

We have measured the cross section, the angular distribution, and the Λ polarization for the reaction π−p→ΛK0. A spark-chamber spectrometer was used to collect 8400 ΛK0 events at fourteen beam momenta near ΣK threshold. Our data do not show the prominent cross-section enhancement suggested by some previous experiments. However, detailed structure in the cross section and the angular distribution agrees well with a simple model which includes a cusp effect at ΣK threshold.

Experimental study of the reaction $\pi^- p \to \Lambda K^0$ at beam momenta between 930 and 1130 MeV/c

Inspire Record 107188 DOI 10.17182/hepdata.24916

We have used an optical spark-chamber spectrometer to perform a systematic study of the reaction π−p→ΛK0 at beam momenta between 930 and 1130 MeV/c. The cross section, angular distribution, and Λ polarization have been measured. We present our complete data from a sample of 11 400 events along with Legendre polynomial coefficients for the angular distributions. No striking cross-section enhancement at ΣK threshold is observed, but there is evidence for a small cusp effect. A simple model which takes account of the ΣK channel provides a good fit to our data.
