Ξ- Production by Σ-, π- and neutrons in the hyperon beam experiment WA89 at CERN

  • 1. Max-Planck-Institut fuer Kernphysik, Heidelberg (Germany)

Description

We report on the measurement of the cross sections of Ξ--hyperons produced in high energy Σ--, π-- and neutron-interactions in copper and carbon. Measuring the pt-, xf and A-dependence of the production cross sections for the different projectiles, we observed a strong leading particle effect for Ξ- produced by Σ-. This constitutes the first measurement using three different projectiles and two different targets within the same experiment ensuring small systematic uncertainties. (orig.)
