In an experiment on K--proton interactions in a hydrogen bubble chamber, the cross sections and angular distributions have been studied for elastic and charge-exchange scattering, and charged sigma hyperon production in the momentum range 90-300 MeV/c. Good agreement is found with previous cross sections except for the charge-exchange channel where the new values are 60% larger. The production distributions of the charged sigma hyperons and the polarisation of the Sigma + hyperon clearly indicate that P waves are present down to about 150 MeV/c, much lower than previously reported.

We present the analysis of 64 000 K−p→Σ−π+ and 89 000 K−p→Σ+π− events obtained with the Berkeley 25-in. hydrogen bubble chamber. Total cross sections and Legendre-polynomial expansion coefficients describing the differential cross sections and polarizations are presented in 10-MeV/c momentum intervals extending from 220 to 470 MeV/c. This paper completes the series devoted to all K−p final states in this momentum range.
