Strangeness Production in Hadron Reactions

TL;DR

This paper reviews experimental results on strangeness production in hadron reactions at COSY, including meson and hyperon production, and explores potential strangeness resonances.

Contribution

It provides a comprehensive overview of recent experimental findings on strangeness production mechanisms and resonance searches in hadron collisions at COSY.

Findings

Observation of kaon-pair and $$ meson production in various collisions

Results on hyperon production and $\Lambda p$ interactions

Search for strangeness $S=-1$ resonance in $\Lambda p$ system

Abstract

The paper gives an overview of strangeness-production experiments at the Cooler Synchrotron COSY. Results on kaon-pair and $\phi$ meson production in $pp$, $pd$ and $dd$ collisions, hyperon-production experiments and $\Lambda p$ final-state interaction studies are presented as well as a search for a strangeness $S=-1$ resonance in the $\Lambda p$ system.
