New experimental methods for the determination of the P parity of K mesons- art. no. 077501

We propose new methods to determine the P parity of the K mesons experiment ally, based on the measurement of polarization observables in K-meson produ ction in polarized proton-proton collisions. The first method is based on t he measurement of the sign of the spin correlation coefficient with transve rsally polarized protons. The second one is based on the measurement of the polarization transfer coefficient from the initial proton to the produced hyperon. [S0556-2821(99)01905-0].
