Abstract:
Using the CLEO detector at the Cornell e +e e~+e~- storage ring, CESR, we study the two-photon production of ΛΛ\Lambda \overline{\Lambda}, making the first observation of γγΛΛ\gamma \gamma \to \Lambda \overline{\Lambda}. We present the cross-section for γγΛΛ \gamma \gamma \to \Lambda \overline{\Lambda} as a function of the γγ\gamma \gamma center of mass energy and compare it to that predicted by the quark-diquark model.
