Production of $\Xi^*$ resonances in $\Sigma ^{-}$ induced reactions at 345 GeV/c
We report on a measurement of the differential and total cross sections of inclusive production of Xi * resonances in Sigma /sup -/- nucleus collisions at 345 GeV/c. The cross section for inclusive Xi /sub 1530//sup 0/ production is about a factor of 5 below that of Xi /sub 1320//sup -/ hyperons. Th...

Sumario: | We report on a measurement of the differential and total cross sections of inclusive production of Xi * resonances in Sigma /sup -/- nucleus collisions at 345 GeV/c. The cross section for inclusive Xi /sub 1530//sup 0/ production is about a factor of 5 below that of Xi /sub 1320//sup -/ hyperons. The products of cross section and branching ratio for the observed channels Xi /sub 1690//sup 0/ to Xi /sup -/ pi /sup +/, Xi /sub 1820//sup -/ to Xi /sub 1530//sup 0/ pi /sup -/ and Xi /sub 1950//sup -/ to Xi /sub 1530//sup 0/ pi /sup -/ are lower by yet another order of magnitude. The Xi /sub 1820//sup -/ and Xi /sub 1950//sup -/ resonances show significantly harder x/sub F / and p/sub t/ distributions than Xi /sup -/ and Xi /sub 1530//sup 0/ hyperons. A comparison of the x/sub F/-distribution to PYTHIA and QGSM predictions provides only a partial agreement. (29 refs). |
