K. Tomizawa et al., LAMBDA-HYPERON PRODUCTION AT BACKWARD ANGLES IN THE REACTION PI-LI-6-]LAMBDA-CHI AT 4 GEV C/, Physics letters. Section B, 328(3-4), 1994, pp. 264-269
The first measurement of the invariant cross sections and polarization
s of A hyperons produced by the reaction pi- Li-6 --> GAMMAX at 4 GeV/
c in the backward angular region (70-degrees < theta(lab) < 145-degree
s) has been done. In the measured region the production with free nucl
eons was kinematically forbidden. All the experimental results are rep
roduced by a quark-parton model calculation.
