Fragmentation Properties of Strange Particles Produced in High Transverse Momentum Hadronic Interactions
- Delhi U.
During the 1987-88 fixed target run at Fermilab$^*$, the E706 spectrometer was exposed to both positive and negative polarity 530 Ge V / c tagged hadronic beams incident on Be and Cu targets. The spectrometer triggered on high transverse momentum ($$P_{\tau}$$) electromagnetic showers detected in a 1.6m radius liquid argon calorimeter. Significant $K^0$ , $$\Lambda$$ and $$\bar{\Lambda}$$ signals have been observed in these events. Fragmentation properties of charged particles and neutral strange particles produced in association with high $$P_{\tau}$$ away-side jets have been presented here. The evidence for the softening of fragmentation functions with increasing mass has been given. Also, the ratios of neutral kaon to charged particles as well as strange baryons to strange mesons have been measured in away-side jets. These results have been compared with Feynman-Field model predictions.
