Associated Strangeness Production at COSY-TOF
The associated strangeness production in elementary reactions like pp {yields} KYN close to reaction thresholds is one of the main topics to be investigated at the Time-of-Flight spectrometer TOF located at the Cooler Synchrotron COSY (FZ Juelich). The concept of the event reconstruction is based on the identification of the delayed hyperon and kaon decay ({Lambda} {yields} p{pi}{sup {minus}}, {Sigma}{sup +} {yields} p{pi}{sup 0}, n{pi}{sup +}, and K{sub s}{sup 0} {yields} {pi}{sup +}{pi}{sup {minus}}). Since the highly granulated detector covers almost the full phase space, all differential distributions as well as total cross sections and the hyperon polarization can be extracted from the data.
