Cross sections are given for the various exclusive reactions K − p→ Λ 0 + n pions, as well as for quasi two-body final states involving ϱ 0 , ω 0 and Y 1 ∗ (1385) resonance production. The general features of Λ 0 production are presented as a function of the pion multiplicity n . Production of Y 1 ∗+ (1385) is clearly observed at all multiplicities while the Y 1 ∗− (1385) signals grow with the multiplicity, as expected in a non-exotic exchange picture. The polarisation of the Λ 0 is consistent with zero everywhere, except when it is a decay product of Y 1 ∗ (1385), when non-zero values are found for odd values of n . The reactions Λ 0 + 2π and Λ 0 + 3π are analysed in terms of the Plahte-Roberts model and good overall agreement is obtained for the various effective mass distributions and the p L ∗ , p T and cos θ distributions for the individual particles.
