Abstract
Abstract A full dynamical analysis of the reaction is given and it is shown that some of the results apply to the production of hyperons in any collision with a free nucleon at rest. In particular, difficulty is found in accounting for the low-energy hyperons that are frequently observed in both cloud chambers and photographic emulsion. Their existence necessitates a mechanism by which hyperons can lose most of their energy. It is suggested that this process is scattering by nucleons. 19 cloud chamber photographs showing two V-events associated with the same nuclear interaction are discussed. In no case do the V-events represent the decays of the two secondaries of reaction (1). The observed frequency of associated V-events provides no evidence for or against the hypothesis that heavy unstable particles are always produced in reaction (1) or in similar “double production” reactions. Because the secondary particles from these reactions are scattered in heavy nuclei it is concluded that the reactions can be...
