A search has been made for K mesons and hyperons produced by a well- collimated beam of 1.95-Bev protons in a hydrogen-filled diffusion chamber. One case of associated production was observed, which is interpreted as p + p yields DELTA /sup o/ + K/sup +/ + p. In a total track length of 2.4 x 10/sup 5/ g/cm/ sup 2/ of hydrogen, no other hyperons or K mcsons were observed to be produced. It is concluded that the cross section for production of K mesons and hyperons is probably less than 0.4 mb. (auth)
