Abstract

Peripheral two-body reactions of the type Kp→M0 + Λ, Σ0 or Σ0 (1385) are considered. Predictions based on the additive quark model and SU(6) baryon wave functions are tested against data on cross sections and polarisations for given momentum transfer. Data obtained in a high statistics experiment at 4.2 GeV/c K momentum, as well as data from a large variety of other experiments are used. Highly significant violations of these predictions are observed in the data. These violations are shown to occur in a systematic fashion, according to which SU(6) must be relaxed, but the amplitude structure implied by additivity would remain valid. As an application an amplitude analysis for natural parity exchange reactions with M0 = π, ϕ and ϱ respectively is performed, which determines a relative phase, which cannot be obtained in a model-independent analysis. Also reactions with M0 = δ or B are considered, and some implications for coupling constants are discussed.
