Study of hypercharge exchange reactions of the type K/sup -/p to 1/sup -3///sub 2//sup +or-/ at 42 GeV/c

Results are presented for the quasi two-body hypercharge exchange reactions of the type 0/sup -1///sub 2//sup +/ to 1/sup -3///sub 2 //sup +/, i.e. K/sup -/p to rho /sup -/ Sigma /sup +/(1385) or K/sup - /p to phi Sigma /sup 0/(1385), and 0/sup -1///sub 2//sup +/ to 1/sup -3///sub 2//sup -/, i.e. K/sup -/p to omega Lambda (1520) or K/sup -/p to phi Lambda (1520), using data from a high statistics bubble chamber experiment. Total and differential cross sections and the momentum transfer dependence of the meson and hyperon resonance single density matrix elements are discussed. Amplitude analyses are performed for the first two reactions. The results are compared with quark model and duality predictions and with those from other related reactions. (7 refs).
