Using data from Fermilab xed-target experiment E769, we have measured particleantiparticle production asymmetries for Λ0 hyperons in π± - nucleon interactions, K ± - nucleon interactions and p - nucleon interactions at 250 GeV/c. The asymmetries are measured as functions of Feynman-x (xf ) and pT2 over the ranges 0 ≤ pT2 ≤ 4(GeV/c)2 and -0.12 ≤ xF ≤ 0.12 (for positive beam) and 0 ≤ pT2 ≤ 10(GeV/c)2 and -0.16 ≤ xF ≤ 0:.0 for the negative beam. We find substantial asymmetries, even at xF = 0. We also observe leading-particle-type asymmetries which qualitatively agree with theoretical predictions.
