Abstract
Using data from Fermilab fixed-target experiment E769, we have measured particle-antiparticle production asymmetries for Lambda0 hyperons in 250 GeV/c pi+-, K+- and p -- nucleon interactions. The asymmetries are measured as functions of Feynman-x (xF) and pt2 over the ranges -0.12<=xF<=0.12 and 0<=pt2<=3 (GeV/c)2 (for positive beam) and -0.12<=xF<=0.4 and 0<=pt2<=10 (GeV/c)2 (for negative beam). We find substantial asymmetries, even at xF around zero. We also observe leading-particle-type asymmetries. These latter effects are qualitatively as expected from valence-quark content of the target and variety of projectiles studied.
