Abstract
The matrix-elements of the reactions A + N → B + (Λ, Σ, Y*(1385)) where A and B are hadrons and N is a nucleon, are related by quark model predictions or alternatively by baryon form-factors derived from SU(6) symmetry. Experimental results from various reactions at several energies are presented and found to be in disagreement with the prediction: the Σ and Y* cross sections are consistently too large compared to the Λ cross section. Detailed analysis of vector-meson production in K-p and K-n interactions at 3 GeV/c indicate that the violation is mainly due to the spin-flip contribution at the baryon vertex.

We would like to thank the members of the SABRE and APS collaborations at Saclay, Amsterdam, Bologna and Ecole Polytechnique for allowing us to use the K-n and K-p data at 3 GeV/c. In particular we are grateful to Drs. A. Rouge, B. Barloutaud and J. C. Scheuer for helpful comments. We thank Professor R. G. Ammar for sening us information on the 5.5 GeV/c data.
