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.
