Strangeness photoproduction with the SAPHIR detector

1997 
Statistically improved data of total cross sections and of angular distributions for differential cross sections and hyperon recoil polarizations of the reactions γp→K+Λ and γp→K+Σ0 have been collected with the SAPHIR detector at photon energies between threshold and 2.0 GeV. Here total cross section data up to 1.5 GeV are presented. The opposite sign of Λ and Σ polarization and the change of sign between forward and backward direction could be confirmed by higher statistics. A steep threshold behaviour of the K+Λ total cross section is observed.
