Inclusive cross sections and longitudinal momentum distributions are presented for γ rays produced in K − p and K + p interactions at 32 GeV/c in the 4.5 m Mirabelle hydrogen bubble chamber at the Serpukhov accelerator. The average longitudinal and transverse momentum of neutral pions and the average π 0 multiplicity ▪ 〈 n π 0〉 are estimated. It is found that 〈 n π 0〉 is an increasing function of the number of charged prongs.

Antilambda production is studied inK−p interactions at 32 GeV/c. Both total and differential cross sections are presented. The inclusive\(\bar \Lambda \) production cross section amounts to 109±7 μb. A remarkable energy dependence is observed, σ(\(\bar \Lambda \)) increasing by a factor of four between 14.3 and 32 GeV/c. Thep⊥2 distribution exhibits an exponential fall-off with a slope of 3.3±0.2 (GeV/c)−2. Most of the\(\bar \Lambda \)'s are emitted in the forward hemisphere. The invariantx distribution increases between 14.3 and 32 GeV/c. Data are presented for\(\bar \Lambda \) production inK-p→Λ\(\bar \Lambda \)+XK-p→\(\bar \Lambda \)Kn+X, andK-p→\(\bar \Lambda \)p+X.
