Abstract
Total and semi-inclusive cross sections, longitudinal and transverse momentum distributions and spin density matrix elements of theK *+(892) andK *0(892) produced in the inclusive reactionsK + p→K *+(892)+X andK + p→K *0(892)+X at 32 GeV/c are studied in detail. The inclusive spectra of theK *(892) and their decay products are compared with pion and neutral kaon production. TheK *+(892) andK *+(892) are dominantly produced by kaon fragmentation processes. The dependence of average transverse momentum <p T> vs.x for resonances has been investigated for the first time.
