Joint production of ϕ mesons and π ±, π 0, p,bar p, K {/s 0} and K ± in hadronic interactions
Abstract
The joint production of ϕ mesons and π ±, π 0, p,bar p, K {/s 0} and K ± is investigated using a sample of 600,000 inclusive ϕ meson events obtained in hadron Be interactions with incident π ±, p,bar p and K ± beams. Evidence is presented for the joint production of ϕ mesons and strange particles produced with non-strange incident beams. With incident K ± beam the number of additional strange particles is suppressed. The results are found to be in agreement with the qualitative predictions of a parton fusion model. The comparison with the Lund model for low p T processes is fair.
