Inclusive and semi-inclusive production of Λ and\(\bar \Lambda\) inK+p interactions is studied at an incident momentum of 70 GeV/c. Cross sections and single particle distributions are presented and compared with data at lower energies. Scaling is observed between 32 and 70 GeV/c in the Feynmanx variable in the target and the beam fragmentation regions for Λ and\(\bar \Lambda\) inclusive production respectively. An increase of Λ (\(\bar \Lambda\)) production is observed in the beam (target) fragmentation regions, whereas the data at 70 and 32 GeV/c are reasonably close in the central region. The dependence of the Λ(\(\bar \Lambda\)) polarization as a function ofx is measured and found to be in general agreement with the results at 32 GeV/c. The (Λ\(\bar \Lambda\)) pair production cross section increases significantly from 32 to 70 GeV/c. The Λ and\(\bar \Lambda\) production associated with an identified proton is also studied.

We present our final data on the production of the baryons p, Λ, Λ , Σ 0 , Σ 0 , Σ − , Σ + , Ω + , and of the baryon resonances Δ ++ (1232), Σ ∗± (1385), Σ ∗± (1385) in K + p interactions at 70 GeV/ c . Results are given on total and semi-inclusive cross sections, transverse momentum distributions and Feynman- x spectra. The data are compared with measurements at 32 GeV/ c and other energies. The predictions of the LUND fragmentation model for low- p T hadron-hadron collisions are examined and found to offer a reasonably successful description of the data.
