K+p elatic differential cross section measurements between 1.4 and 2.3 GeV/c and a phase shift analysis

Abstract The differential cross section for K + p elastic scattering has been measured at 26 momenta between 1.4 and 2.3 GeV/ c . The data have been included in a phase shift analysis; four solutions have been found, none of which requires the existence of a Z 1 ∗ resonance.
