A study of inclusive Xi /sup -/ production from K/sup -/p interactions at 42 GeV/c

A study of inclusive Xi /sup -/ production from a high statistics K /sup -/p experiment at 4.2 GeV/c has been made. The total Xi /sup -/ production cross section is 157+or-8 mu b. Approximately 15% of the Xi /sup -/ arise from decay of the Xi */sup Q/(1530) resonance. The polarization of Xi /sup -/...

Descripción
Sumario:A study of inclusive Xi /sup -/ production from a high statistics K /sup -/p experiment at 4.2 GeV/c has been made. The total Xi /sup -/ production cross section is 157+or-8 mu b. Approximately 15% of the Xi /sup -/ arise from decay of the Xi */sup Q/(1530) resonance. The polarization of Xi /sup -/ is found to be negative and is nearly equal in value to that of the Lambda /sup 0/ from the inclusive reaction K /sup -/+p to Lambda /sup 0/+anything. An analysis of the inclusive production of Xi /sup -/ has been made in the framework of the triple- Regge formalism. (15 refs).
