Hyperon production by Σ⁻, π⁻ and neutrons in WA89 — •Josef Pochodzalla — Max-Planck Institut für Kernphysik, Saupfercheckweg 1, 69117 Heidelberg

We present results on strange particle production obtained by the WA89 CERN hyperon beam experiment. The inclusive production cross sections for Σ^* and Ξ^* resonances have been measured. Strong leading effects are observed for all negative Σ hyperons. The differential cross sections of Λ and K particles show strong non-gaussian and non-thermal enhancements at large transverse momenta. A systematics of the slope parameter for strange and charm particles will be presented. For simultaneously produced Λ Λ and Λ Λ pairs, correlations in x_F were studied. While Λ Λ pairs are consistent with the assumption of identical distribution functions for both Λ, clear deviations from the assumption of equal production probability distributions are seen for coincident Λ pairs are found.
