Description

We report on a measurement of the inclusive production cross sections for Σ±,Σ±1385,Σ±1660 and Σ-1385 in the CERN hyperon beam experiment WA89, using a Σ-/π- beam of 345 GeV/c momentum and neutrons of 260 GeV/c mean momentum. A strong leading particle effect was observed for all negative Σ and Σ*. The results are compared with predictions from phenomenological models. (orig.)
