We have found 431 events of the reaction K+d→K0pps at 3.8−GeVc K+ beam momentum in a 295 000-frame exposure of the Argonne National Laboratory 30-in. deuterium-filled bubble chamber. The event sample consists of one- and two-prong events with a visible K0 decaying to π+π− The total and differential cross sections are found after correction for unseen K0's and for efficiencies in the scanning-measuring-fitting chain. Comparisons of the data are made to an SU(3) sum rule, a Regge model, and data for K−p→K¯0n.

GLAUBER SCREENING AND PAULI EXCLUSION PRINCIPLE CORRECTIONS ARE REQUIRED TO YIELD THE K+ N CHARGE EXCHANGE CROSS SECTION. THE GLAUBER CORRECTION IMPLIES AN INCREASE IN THE CROSS SECTIONS BY THE FACTOR 1.016. THE PAULI CORRECTION IS SLIGHT EXCEPT AT LOW -T (<0.2 GEV**2) WHERE IT IS LARGE AND UNCERTAIN.
