Asymmetry studies in Lambda 0/Lambda 0-bar, Xi-/Xi+ and Omega-/Omega+ production
Abstract
We present a study on hyperon/anti-hyperon production asymmetries in the framework of the recombination model. The production asymmetries for Lambda 0/Lambda 0-bar, Xi-/Xi+ and Omega-/Omega+ are studied as a function of xF. Predictions of the model are compared to preliminary data on hyperon/anti-hyperon production asymmetries in 500 GeV/c pi- p interactions from the Fermilab E791 experiment. The model predicts a growing asymmetry with the number of valence quarks shared by the target and the produced hyperons in the xF < 0 region. In the positive xF region, the model predicts constant asymmetries for Lambda 0/Lambda 0-bar and Omega-/Omega+ production and a growing asymmetry with xF for Xi-/Xi+. We found a qualitatively good agreement between the model predictions and data, showing that recombination is a competitive mechanism in the hadronization process.
