Title: lambda. production in e/sup +/e/sup -/ annihilations at 29 GeV

Conference ·
OSTI ID:5645603

This paper presents measurements of the inclusive production cross sections of ..lambda.. baryons in e/sup +/e/sup -/ annihilations at ..sqrt..s = 29 GeV. The data sample corresponds to an integrated luminosity of 256 pb/sup -1/ collected with the High Resolution Spectrometer at PEP. Comparisons are made to the predictions of the Lund model. The data are well described using a strange diquark suppression parameter, (us/ud)/(s/d), of 0.89 +- 0.10/sub -0.16//sup +0.56/, and the measured ..lambda../sub c/ ..-->.. ..lambda.. + X branching ratio of 23 +- 10%. No polarization is observed in the ..lambda.. decays. 17 refs., 5 figs.
