Spectra and correlations of Λ and Λ¯ produced in 340-GeV/c Σ-+C and 260-GeV/c n+C interactions

We have measured the production of strange baryons and antibaryons in 340-GeV/c Sigma(-)+C and 260-GeV/c n+C interactions. The single x(F) distributions show the expected leading particle effect, and the single p(t)(2) distributions show a distinct nonthermal behavior. The x(F) distributions of Lambda-Lambda pairs indicate two different phase space distributions for the two coincident baryons. On the other hand two (Lambda) over bar 's show identical distributions. Momentum conservation during the formation process may represent a significant source for the observed behavior.
