Production of $\Lambda(c$) With Large X(f) at the {ISR}

Phys.Lett.B 199 (1987) 304, 1987.

We report results of an inclusive measurement of the charmed baryon, Λ c , in the forward direction of proton-proton interactions with s =63 GeV . The signal, seen in the final state Λ s π + π + π − , has 6.0 σ significance with about 620 events on a large background and corresponds to a cross section times branching ratio of 2.84±0.50±0.72 μ b for Feynman- x F > 0.5 in both hemispheres. Asymmetries are observed in the decay angular distributions which are characteristic of weak decays and have a combined 3.0 σ significance.

$\Lambda^0$ Polarization in Proton Proton Interactions From $sqrt{s} = 31$-{GeV} to 62-{GeV}

The R608 collaboration Smith, A.M. ; Bonino, R. ; Castellina, A. ; et al.
Phys.Lett.B 185 (1987) 209, 1987.
Inspire Record 235588 DOI 10.17182/hepdata.30196

We report Λ 0 -hyperon polarization measurements at the CERN intersecting storage rings from √ s of 31 to 62 GeV. P Λ 0 changes insignificantly, +(0.8±1.7)%, over this range of √ s . However, P Λ 0 is observed to grow with Feynman- x F and with transverse momentum. At an average p t of 1.1 GeV/ c , P Λ 0 depends linearly on x F and approaches −40% at x F =0.8.

Evidence for Pomeron Single Quark Interactions in Proton Diffraction at the {ISR}

The R608 collaboration Smith, A.M. ; Meritet, L. ; Reyrolle, M. ; et al.
Phys.Lett.B 163 (1985) 267-272, 1985.
Inspire Record 216801 DOI 10.17182/hepdata.30332

Measurements are presented of two exclusive diffractive reactions, pp → (Λ 0 φ 0 K + ) p and pp → (Λ 0 Λ 0 p)p , at √ s = 63 GeV . Pronounced correlations with the beam direction are observed (in the rest frame of the forward-going bracketed system) for those outgoing particles which contain the beam valence quarks. In each case there is a forward-Λ 0 in correlation with a backward K + or p, respectively. No such behavior is seen for the particles which do not contain beam valence quarks (φ 0 and Λ 0 , respectively) . Interpreted as examples of pomeron-proton scattering, these results constitute evidence that, for these final states, the pomeron interacts with a single valence quark and apparently back-scatters it. The subsequent hadronization leads to a longitudinal event structure.

Test of {CP} Invariance in $\Lambda^0$ Decay

The R608 collaboration Chauvat, P. ; Erhan, S. ; Hayes, K. ; et al.
Phys.Lett.B 163 (1985) 273-276, 1985.
Inspire Record 216802 DOI 10.17182/hepdata.49640

In an experiment at the CERN intersecting storage rings with √ s = 31 GeV, we have measured αP , the product of asymmetry parameter and polarization, for Λ 0 's and Λ 0 's produced in p p and pp interactions, respectively. The ratio, (αP) Λ /(αP Λ = −1.04±0.29 , is consistent with the value −1, and constitutes the first test of CP invariance in Λ decay.
