Surprisingly large polarizations in hyperon production by unpolarized protons have been known for a long time. The spin dynamics of the production process can be further investigated with polarized beams. Recently, a negative asymmetry AN was found in inclusive Λ0 production with a 200GeV/c transversely polarized proton beam. The depolarization DNN in p↑+p→Λ0+X has been measured with the same beam over a wide xF range and at moderate pT. DNN reaches positive values of about 30% at high xF and pT∼1.0GeV/c. This result shows a sizable spin transfer from the incident polarized proton to the outgoing Λ0.

Test of {CP} Invariance in $\Lambda^0$ Decay

In an experiment at the CERN intersecting storage rings with √ s = 31 GeV, we have measured αP , the product of asymmetry parameter and polarization, for Λ 0 's and Λ 0 's produced in p p and pp interactions, respectively. The ratio, (αP) Λ /(αP Λ = −1.04±0.29 , is consistent with the value −1, and constitutes the first test of CP invariance in Λ decay.

The ratio CONST/CONST is obtained under assumption of POL(LAMBDA) = POL(LAMBDABAR).


$\Lambda^0$ Polarization in Proton Proton Interactions From $sqrt{s} = 31$-{GeV} to 62-{GeV}

We report Λ 0 -hyperon polarization measurements at the CERN intersecting storage rings from √ s of 31 to 62 GeV. P Λ 0 changes insignificantly, +(0.8±1.7)%, over this range of √ s . However, P Λ 0 is observed to grow with Feynman- x F and with transverse momentum. At an average p t of 1.1 GeV/ c , P Λ 0 depends linearly on x F and approaches −40% at x F =0.8.

INCLUSIVE PRODUCTION OF NEUTRAL STRANGE PARTICLES BY 147-GeV/c PI+ K+ p INTERACTIONS IN HYDROGEN

Inspire Record 156268 DOI 10.17182/hepdata.8251

Results are presented from a study of inclusive neutral strange particle production by a 147 GeV/ c tagged π + /K + /p beam in the Fermilab 30-inch hydrogen bubble chamber. The experiment made use of the proportional hybrid spectrometer system. Results are based on 995 K S 0 , 485 Λ, and 83 Λ found in a sample of 132 000 pictures. Cross sections are given for inclusive production of these particles by each of the three beam particles, and comparisons are made with measurements at other energies. Topological cross sections are also calculated, and KNO multiplicity scaling is investigated. Distributions are presented of invariant cross sections as functions of the Feynman scaling variable x and c.m. rapidity y . The transverse momentum-squared distributions with their fitted slopes are also given. Comparisons are made of the production characteristics for the three beam types.

Transverse momentum distributions of λ o , λ o , and K o , produced in pp collisions at x = 0, have obtained at the CERN ISR. The K o yield is in agreement with published K + , K − results, obtained at this centre-of-mass energy (√ s ≈44 GeV). The results on λ o and λ o production obtained in this experiment are compared with results obtained at lower centre-of-mass energies.

Differences in Leading Baryon Production From $p \bar{p}$ and $p p$ Collisions With $\sqrt{s}=31$-{GeV} at the {CERN} {ISR}

Significant differences are observed between forward-produced Δ ++ (1232) and Λ 0 's in pp interactions and their corresponding anti-particles in p p interactions, as expected from quark counting and single q q annihilation. A possible relationship between these results and the p p -pp total cross section difference is discussed.
