We have measured inclusive data on $K^+$-meson production in $pp$ collisions at COSY J\"ulich close to the hyperon production threshold and determined the hyperon-nucleon invariant mass spectra. The spectra were decomposed into three parts: $\Lambda p$, $\Sigma^0p$ and $\Sigma^+n$. The cross section for the $\Sigma^+n$ channel was found to be much smaller than a previous measurement in that excess energy region. The data together with previous results at higher energies are compatible with a phase space dependence.

In the very heavy collision system Au197+197Au the K+ production process was studied as a function of impact parameter at 1 GeV/nucleon, a beam energy well below the free N-N threshold. The K+ multiplicity increases more than linearly with the number of participant nucleons and the K+/π+ ratio rises significantly when going from peripheral to central collisions. The measured K+ double differential cross section is enhanced by a factor of 6 compared to microscopic transport calculations if secondary processes (ΔN→KΛN and ΔΔ→KΛN) are ignored.

The total K+ cross section is determined by extrapolating and integrating the double differential cross section d2(sig)/d(p)/d(omega) over momentum and solid angle.

The photon asymmetry (α γ ) and partial branching ratio above 57 MeV ( R k > 57) have been measured for radiative muon capture on 40 Ca in order to determine the magnitude of the induced-pseudoscalar coupling constant, g p . Based on 2500 events a value of α γ = 1.32 +0.57 −0.47 is obtained from a fit to the photon time spectrum; this implies a value for g p <5.2 g A . For the first time the asymmetry signal is clearly visible and unconstrained multi-parameter fits reproduce the parameters obtained from the decay electron spectrum. The present results are discussed and compared in detail with previous results.

NUCLEAR REACTIONS OF MEDIUM AND HEAVY TARGET NUCLEI WITH HIGH-ENERGY PROJECTILES: SPALLATION OF Mn-55, Co-59, Ni-nat AND Cu-nat BY 3.65-AGeV C-12 IONS AND 3.65-GeV PROTONS

Nuclear reactions induced by 3·65 A GeV12C-ions and 3·65 GeV protons on target elements55Mn,59Co,nat Ni andnatCu were investigated by using the foil stack activation technique and Ge(Li) gamma-ray spectroscopy. Charge dispersions and mass-yield distributions of radioactive residues were obtained from the parametrization of measured spallation cross sections. Discussion of results from this and other radiochemical reactions of high-energy protons and12C-ions with complex nuclei is presented in terms of the concepts of limiting fragmentation and factorization.
