Hyperon-proton interactions between 0.5 and 4.0 GeV/c

Abstract Hyperon-proton interactions were studied in a 12 event/μb exposure of the CERN 2m hydrogen bubble chamber to a 3.95 GeV/ c K − beam. We report results concerning 192 elastic and 52 inelastic Λp 1 interactions, as well as 43 Σ and 10 Ξ elastic scatters. The hyperons were produced with momenta between 0.5 and 4.0 GeV/ c . 1
