The reactions p p → ∑ + ∑ + and p p → ∑ − ∑ − have been investigated at GeV/c beam momentum by the PS185 Collaboration at LEAR, CERN. Of both reaction types together 170 events could be identified. The cross section of the reaction p p → ∑ + ∑ + was determined to be σ tot = 3.68 ± 0.43 μ b at an excess energy of 23 MeV. Its angular distribution exhibits a pronounced forward peaking. The ratio of the cross sections σ( p p → ∑ + ∑ + ) σ( p p → ∑ − ∑ − ) = 2.4 −1.3 +3.0 was extracted with a confidence limit of 90%. It is the first time that experimental data of these reaction channels are available close to the threshold. We compare our results with those of earlier experiments and with theoretical predictions.

The reactions p p → Λ Λ, Λ Σ 0 or Σ 0 Λ, Σ + Σ + are studied at an incident momentum of 3.6 GeV/ c in a 35.4 event/μb experiment performed in the CERN 2m HBC. Total and differential cross sections are presented. The polarization of the hyperons is measured as a function of t and for the reaction p p → Λ Λ the complete spin correlation matrix is given.

Total and differential cross sections are presented on the reactions: p ̄ p → Λ Λ, ΛΣ 0 + c.c. , Σ + Σ + at an incident momentum of 5.7 GeV/ c , from 200 000 photographs (13 events/ Σ b) of the CERN 2 metre hydrogen bubble chamber. The “forbidden” reaction p ̄ p → Σ − Σ − is also observed and its cross section is 1.3 ± 0.4 μ b. Polarization and correlation of polarizations are presented for the reaction p ̄ p → Λ Λ .
