We present results on the differential cross sections for the process K + n → K 0 p extracted from the reaction K + d → K 0 pp measured at 13 momenta between 0.64 and 1.51 GeV/ c .
THESE TOTAL CROSS SECTIONS WERE PRESENTED WITH MORE EXPERIMENTAL DETAILS IN G. GIACOMELLI ET AL., NP B37, 577 (1972).
REACTION HAS A SPECTATOR PROTON. THESE ARE NOT FREE NEUTRON CROSS SECTIONS. A 250 MEV/C MOMENTUM CUT IS APPLIED TO THE SPECTATOR MOMENTUM AND D(SIG)/DOMEGA THEN NORMALIZED TO THE UNCUT TOTAL CROSS SECTION FOR K+ DEUT --> K0 P P.
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.
The cross sections for the line-reversed reaction pairs K+n→K0p and K−p→K¯0n, and K+p→K0Δ++ and K−n→K¯0Δ− have been determined with high statistics and good relative normalization at 8.36 and 12.8 GeV/c in a spectrometer experiment at Stanford Linear Accelerator Center. The cross sections for the K+-induced reactions are larger than for the K−, contrary to the expectations of weakly-exchange-degenerate Regge-pole models. The ratio of the reaction cross sections is about the same as at lower energies and shows little change with momentum transfer.
