A strong negative transverse polarization P z is found for forward produced lambdas observed in 10 and 16 GeV/ c K − p interactions. This indicates that exchanges of natural spin-parity are dominant in the production process. Using the polarization results, the d σ d u′ distributions for natural and unnatural spin-parity exchanges are derived. For unnatural exchanges, a dip is observed at u ′≅0.3 GeV 2 , which can be explained as a nonsense-wrong-signature zero of the N β trajectory. The value of P z for forward producted lambdas is constant with energy. This is in agreement with the triple-Regge model prediction, as is the fact that P z is constant as a function of M 2 s . The two non-transverse polarization components, P x and P y , have been measured and are found to be consistent with zero for all x values, unlike P z .

Neutral Strange Particle Production in anti-Proton-Proton Reactions at 3.0-GeV/c

Jacobs, S.M. ; Kirsch, L.E. ; Moore, S.C. ; et al.

Inspire Record 5857 DOI 10.17182/hepdata.24452

The reactions p¯p→V0+neutrals were studied in a multiparticle spectrometer at 3.0 GeV/c incident momentum, with a sensitivity of about 150 events/μb. Differential cross sections and polarization of the Λ¯ for the final states Λ¯(Λ) and Λ¯(Σ0) are reported and compared with theoretical models. Differential cross sections of the K0 in K0[K*(890)] and the Λ in Λ(Λ¯+Σ¯0) are also measured. Upper limits of a few μb MeV are obtained for the formation of narrow resonances decaying into V0+neutrals in the mass interval 2.74-2.80 GeV/c2.

Measurement of the Polarization Parameter for anti-Proton-Proton Annihilation Into Charged Pion and Kaon Pairs Between 1.0-GeV/c and 2.2-GeV/c

The polarization parameter P for the reactions p p → π − π + and p p → K − K + has been measured over essentially the full angular range at ll laboratory momenta between 1.0 and 2.2. GeV/ c , using a proton target polarized perpendicular to the scattering plane. The angles and momenta of both final state particles were determined from wire spark chambers, using the deflection caused by the polarized target magnet. Between 1000 and 5300 π − π + events, and 140 and 1300 K − K + events, were measured at each momentum. Differential cross sections for p p → π − π + were obtained. These are in excellent agreement with previous results. The polarization parameter for both channels is very close to +1 over much of the angular range. Legendre polynomial fits to the data are presented.

Polarization Measurements in pi+ p Elastic Scattering from 0.6-GeV/c to 2.65-GeV/c

This paper presents the results of a counter experiment at the Rutherford Laboratory, in which the polarization parameter in π + p elastic scattering was measured. Data were taken at 64 incident pion momenta between 0.60 and 2.65 GeV/ c . The results are found to be in generally good agreement with those of other experiments, and have substantially higher precision at many momenta.
