Summary
A Σ− hyperon, arising from a 12 + 0p star, disappears in flight, presumably by interacting with a proton and producing a neutral hyperon and neutron.
Riassunto
Un iperone Σ− originato da una stella 12 + 0p scompare in volo, presumibilmente per interazione con un protone con produzione di un iperone neutro e un neutrone

We confine our attention to ending hyperons for which the main body of data has been accumulated. Evidence for the nuclear absorption of a high energy hyperon of approximately 300 MeV, with the production of an associated K-particle, has been given recently byBlock andKing:Phys. Rev.,97, 1415 (1955).
