Abstract The inclusive production of neutral kaons inK − p interactions at 32 GeV/c is studied in final states with one, two and three strange particles (K n or Λ). Inclusive and topological cross sections are obtained and their energy dependence discussed by comparison with lower energy data. The invariant differential cross sections of neutral kaons are studied as a function of Feynmanx, the c.m. rapidity and the transverse momentum, and a comparison is made with data at 14.3 GeV/c. Invariantx-distributions are obtained separately for “indirect” neutral kaons from $$\bar K*(890)$$ decays and for “prompt” kaons. We also discuss the possibility of connecting quark structure functions with hadron fragmentation spectra at this c.m. energy $$\sqrt s \simeq 8 GeV$$ .
