Differential cross sections and polarizations have been measured for the backward peaks in the reactions π − p →Λ K 0 and π − p →Λ K ∗ (890) at 8 GeV/c. The experiment was performed with a liquid hydrogen target at the ω spectrometer. The cross sections for u′>−2 ( GeV /c) 2 are 0.27 ± 0.03 μ b for π − p →Λ+ K 0 and 0.55±0.07 μ b for π − p →Λ K ∗0 . Large positive Λ polarization was observed in both reactions for u ′>−0.5 (GeV/ c ) 2 . The dominant production mechanism was found to be unnatural baryon exchange.

The π − p→K 0 λ polarization has been measured at 5 GeV/ c in the range 0<− t <1.4 (GeV/ c ) 2 . The polarization is small for − t ⪅0.4 (GeV/ c ) 2 , becoming negative at the higher values of − t .

We present measurements for the baryon-exchange reaction π − p→ Λ K 0 at 5 GeV/ c over the range − u <2(GeV/ c ) 2 . The differential cross section is obtained from events produced on a liquid hydrogen target. These data are combined with events produced on a butanol polarized target and the parameters P , A , and R are then determined from an analysis of the decay angular distribution of the forward-going Λ. From our data it is possible to determine the magnitudes and the relative phase of the two invariant amplitudes A ′ and B . The consequences for the ratio B / A ′ are discussed in detail.
