Strangeness production in /bar P/-nucleus interactions

Conference ·
OSTI ID:6554305
The available data on production of strange particles (K/sub S/, ..lambda..,/bar /Lambda//) in /bar p/-nucleus annihilation from 0--4 GeV/c are interpreted in the context of a conventional hadronic picture, including final state interactions. The essential features of the data, namely the energy independence of the ..lambda../K/sub S/ ratio and the weak dependence of the ..lambda.. yield on the target mass number A are explained without recourse to quark-gluon plasma formation. 42 refs., 3 figs.
