Abstract:
The reactions and are studied near their thresholds. The strangeness production process is described by the - and exchange mechanisms. Effects from the final state interaction in the hyperon-nucleon system are taken into account rigorously. It is found that the production is dominated by exchange whereas - as well as exchange play an important role for the case. It is shown that the experimentally observed strong suppression of production compared to production at the same excess energy can be explained by a destructive interference between and exchange in the reaction . Implications of such an interference on the reaction are pointed out.- p p: exclusive reaction
- Lambda: hadroproduction
- Sigma0: hadroproduction
- K+: associated production
- threshold
- pi: exchange
- K: exchange
- final-state interaction
- vertex function
- channel cross section: energy dependence
