Neutral strange particle production in neutrino and antineutrino charged current interactions on protons

  • Published:
Zeitschrift für Physik C Particles and Fields

Abstract

The production of the neutral strange particlesK 0, Λ and\(\bar \Lambda \) invp and\(\bar vp\) charged current interactions is studied in an experiment with the Big European Bubble Chamber. Mean multiplicities are measured as a function of the event variablesE v,W 2 andQ 2 and of the hadron variablesx F,z andp 2T .K *± (892) and∑ *± (1385) signals are observed, whereas there is no evidence for∑ *- (1385) production invp scattering. Forward, backward and total mean multiplicities are found to compare well with the predictions of an empirical model for deep-inelastic reactions in the case of the strange mesonsK 0 andK *± (892) but less so for the strange baryons Λ,\(\bar \Lambda \) and∑ *± (1385). The strange baryon multiplicities are used to obtain the decuplet to octet baryon production ratio and to assess the probabilities of auu orud system to break up.
