Abstract Inclusive Λ production in $$\bar p$$ p interactions at 3.0, 3.5, 4.0 and 4.5 GeV/c is studied. The inclusive cross sections for Λ and Λ $$\bar \Lambda $$ production are measured. The differential cross sections as functions ofx, y, andP T 2 are given for each beam momentum. It is found that the contribution of indirect production of Λ from resonance decay is considerably enhanced in the region of higher missing mass against Λ. The negative polarization is observed for Λ with largerP T and lower missing mass, and is found to be mainly from two body reactions. Inclusive cross sections for∑ ±(1385) production and the fraction of indirect Λ from∑ ±(1385) decay are measured. The ratio between the cross sections for∑ +(1385) and∑ −(1385) productions is found to be almost constant for wide range of beam momenta.
