We have studied hypercharge exchange in two pairs of line-reversed reactions at 7 GeV/ c incident beam momentum in a triggered bubble chamber experiment at the SLAC Hybrid Facility. The experiment was carried out with the particular object of testing the predictions of exchange degeneracy using the same apparatus. We present differential and total cross sections for the reactions π + p → K + Σ + , K − p →π − Σ + and π + p → K + Y ∗+ (1385), K − p →π − Y ∗+ (1385) from a π + exposure of sensitivity 150 events/μb and a K − exposure of 100 events/μb. In each case we have measured the polarization of the final-state hyperon for | t |<1.0 (GeV/ c ) 2 by direct observation of its decay in the bubble chamber. We present results from an amplitude analysis of the Y ∗ (1385) reactions and find agreement with the predictions of the additive quark model. The Σ + polarization data are consistent with weak exchange degeneracy but the predicted equality of the differential cross section is not observed.

The reactions K − p→ π − Σ + (1385) and K − p→ π + Σ − (1385) are studied at 4.2 GeV c incident momentum using data from a high statistics bubble chamber experiment corresponding to ∼80 events/μb. The total and differential cross sections are presented. Amplitude analyses are performed and the complete Σ ± (1385) helicity spin density matrices are extracted. The results are compared with the predictions of the additive quark model and exchange degeneracy. A substantial cross section is observed for the reaction K − p→ π + Σ − (1385) in the forward direction, which implies exotic meson quantum numbers in the t -channel. One possible interpretation of this process provides an explanation for the small but significant violations of the additive quark model predictions observed in the reaction K − p→ π − Σ + (1385) at low four-momentum transfer. In the backward direction unnatural parity exchange is shown to give a larger contribution to K − p→ Σ − (1385) π + than natural parity exchange.
