Study of hypercharge exchange reactions of the type 0−1/2+→2+1/2+ at 4GeV/c

Abstract: Results are presented for the quasi two-body hypercharge exchange reactions of the type 0−1/2+→2+1/2+: $$\begin{gathered} \pi ^ - p \to K^0 (1420)(\Lambda ,\sum ^0 ), \hfill \\ K^ - p \to f^0 (1270)(\Lambda ,\sum ^0 ), \hfill \\ K^ - p \to f\prime (1515)(\Lambda ,\sum ^0 ), \hfill \\ \end{gathered} $$ using data from two high statistics bubble chamber experiments. The total and differential cross sections are presented and compared with those obtained for the corresponding vector meson reactions and with simple phenomenological ideas.

Q 1 production by hypercharge exchange in π - p interactions at 3.95 GeV/c

Abstract: Q-meson production is studied in the hypercharge exchange reaction π-p → (Kππ)Λ at 3.95 GeV/c by selecting events witht(π- →Kππ)>1.2GeV2. An enhancement with a mass of 1294±10 MeV and a width of 66±15 MeV is observed in the (Kππ) mass distribution. A spin-parity analysis of the (Kππ) decay Dalitz plot shows the enhancement to be in theJP=1+S(Kϱ) wave and is therefore attributed toQ1-meson production. No evidence is found for the decayQ1→K0ω but limited statistics allow only placing an upper limit of 30% for the decay ratioKω/Kϱ0. TheQ1 production cross section fort(π- →Kππ)>1.2GeV2 is 8±1.3 μb. No evidence is found for the process π-p→Q2Λ withQ2→K*π for which the partial wave analysis gives an upper cross section limit of 2.5 μb at the 95% confidence level.
