Abstract
The production of K0s, Λs and Λs has been studied in a 280 GeV muon-proton scattering experiment with almost complete coverage of all kinematic regions. A study is made of the dependence of the multiplicities on the hadronic centre of mass energy, W, and of the Feynman x distributions. It is found that K0 and Λ production is mostly central and increases strongly with W, whereas Λ production comes mainly from the remnant target system and is only weakly W dependent. © 1984.
