Y*(1385) production reactions, SU(3) symmetry and vector tensor universality

This paper is devoted to a detailed study of Y*(1385) production processes. It is shown that the present experimental data are consistent with SU(3) symmetry, broken by the Regge trajectory splitting. Furthermore an amplitude analysis is performed using the data on the K-p→π-Y*+ reaction at incident momentum of 4.25 GeV/c. This determines the double-flip amplitude, the features of which are compatible with the systematics for vector and tensor exchanges proposed by the authors. (Auth.)
