Near threshold {Lambda} and {Sigma}{sup 0} production in pp collisions

Conference ·
OSTI ID:784260
The reactions pp {yields} p{Lambda}K{sup +} and pp {yields} p{Sigma}{sup 0}K{sup +} are studied near their thresholds. The strangeness production process is described by the {pi}- and K exchange mechanisms. Effects from the final-state interaction in the hyperon-nucleon system are taken into account rigorously. It is shown that the experimentally observed strong suppression of {Sigma}{sup 0} production compared to {Lambda} production can be explained by a destructive interference between {pi} and K exchange in the reaction pp {yields} p{Sigma}{sup 0}K{sup +}.
