Hyperon production in\(\bar p\)p interactions at 22.4 GeV/c

In the present paper we investigate the production of charged hyperons and antihy-perons in\(\bar p\)p interactions at 22.4 GeV/c recorded in the 2m hydrogen bubble chamber “Ludmila”. After correction for losses due to the kinematics of hyperon decays and for scanning efficiency we have obtained 610 events with charged hyperons or antihyperons. A total cross section of 1.3 −0.05 +0.4 mb for ∑±/\(\overline {\sum ^ \pm } \) has been obtained, and various associated charged particle multiplicity distributions are presented.
