Abstract

We have measured the differential cross sections for the associated o o -o o production reactions ir p-»K A and IT p-K 2 at 3, 4, 5, and 6 GeV/c, with a total of over 40, 000 events.We find that both reactions have exponential forward peaks for -t • 0. 4 (GeV/c) , with no indication of forward direction flattening or turnover; the slopes of the forward peaks show little if any variation with momentum; and the two cross sections are equal within experimental error from -t = 1. 2 (GeV/c) out to at least -t = 2. 0 (GeV/c) 2 .
