Abstract: (APS)
476 ΛK0 and 134 Σ0K0 events have been investigated in the experiment 1.508 BeV/c π−p→ΛK0 and Σ0K0. The Λ is produced mostly backward in the center of mass and has an average polarization (-0.76±0.14). The production and polarization angular distributions are well fit with spd waves. The total ΛK0 production cross section is (214+23) μb. The Σ0 production angular distribution has a small backward peak and an indication of a forward rise; it is consistent with either sp or spd waves. The statistics are too poor to measure the Σ0 polarization.
