Popis: The reaction pp → K+ λ,p was measured exclusively at the cooler synchrotron COSY at beam momenta of pBeam = 2.50 GeV/c and pBeam = 2.75 GeV/c using the TOF detector. Angular and momentum distributions were obtained for the full phase space of the reaction products. Total cross sections were extracted to be (2.7 ± 0.3)μ b and (12.0 ± 0.4) μ b, respectively. The polarization of the λ-hyperon was determined as a function of its transversal momentum and was found to be negative for transverse momentum transfers of pT ≥ 0.3 GeV/c. The results together with existing data are compared with phenomenological parameterizations and model calculations on the basis of meson exchange.
