Correlations between $\Lambda^0$ and $\bar{\Lambda}^0$ production in hadronic $Z^0$ decays

Experiment: DELPHI (LEP)

Inspire ID: 360638

Status: VALIDATED

Authors: - Peter Richardson

References: - Phys.Lett. B318 (1993) 249-262, 1993

Beams: e+ e-

Beam energies: (45.6, 45.6)GeV

Run details: - $\sqrt{s} = 91.2$ GeV, $e^+ e^- -> Z^0$ production with hadronic decays only

The spectrum for the production of $\Lambda^0$ and $\bar{\Lambda}^0$ in hadronic $Z^0$ decays. Importantly the rapidity difference and cosine of the angle between $\Lambda^0$ and $\bar{\Lambda}^0$ baryons is measured. This is sensitive to different models of baryon production.
