Abstract | |||||||||||||
| Inclusive cross sections for \Xi \Gamma hyperon production in high-energy \Sigma \Gamma , ß \Gamma and neutron induced interactions were measured by the experiment WA89 at CERN. Secondary \Sigma \Gamma and ß \Gamma beams with average momenta of 345 GeV=c and a neutron beam of average momentum 65 GeV=c were produced by primary protons of 450 GeV=c from the CERN SPS. Both single and double differential cross sections are presented as a function of the transverse momentum and the Feynman variable x F . A strong leading effect for \Xi \Gamma produced by \Sigma \Gamma is observed. The influence of the target mass on the \Xi \Gamma cross section is explored by comparing reactions on copper and carbon nuclei.
