PRODUCTION OF STRANGE PARTICLES IN THE HADRONIC DECAYS OF THE Z(0)

An analysis of the production of strange particles from the decays of the Z0 boson into multihadronic final states is presented. The analysis is based on about 90 000 selected hadronic Z0 decays collected by the DELPHI detector at LEP in 1990. Ks 0, K*±, Λ(Λ) and Ξ- (Ξ+) have been identified by thei...

Description
Summary:An analysis of the production of strange particles from the decays of the Z0 boson into multihadronic final states is presented. The analysis is based on about 90 000 selected hadronic Z0 decays collected by the DELPHI detector at LEP in 1990. Ks 0, K*±, Λ(Λ) and Ξ- (Ξ+) have been identified by their characteristic decays. The measured production cross sections are compared with predictions of the Lund Monte Carlo tuned to data at PEP/PETRA energies. © 1992.
