K−p charge exchange and hyperon production cross sections from 860 to 1000 MeV/c

The K−p reactions leading to charge exchange and hyperon final states have been studied at nine momenta between 862 and 1001 MeV/c using data from a 600 000 picture exposure of the Lawrence Berkeley Laboratory 25″ liquid hydrogen bubble chamber. Partial cross sections are determined for all final states resolved by kinematic fitting. In addition, differential cross sections are presented for the two-body final states Kon, Λπo and Σ+-π-+ along with hyperon polarization angular distributions for Λπo and Σ+π−.
