Abstract

We report a set of measurements of inclusive invariant pT differential cross sections of Λ0, Λ¯0, Ξ±, and Ω± hyperons reconstructed in the central region with pseudorapidity |η|<1 and pT up to 10GeV/c. Events are collected with a minimum-bias trigger in pp¯ collisions at a center-of-mass energy of 1.96 TeV using the CDF II detector at the Tevatron Collider. As pT increases, the slopes of the differential cross sections of the three particles are similar, which could indicate a universality of the particle production in pT. The invariant differential cross sections are also presented for different charged-particle multiplicity intervals.

  15. In the CDF coordinate system, θ and ϕ are the polar and azimuthal angles of a track, respectively, defined with respect to the proton beam direction, z. The pseudorapidity η is defined as ln[tan(θ/2)]. The transverse-momentum of a particle is pT=psinθ. The rapidity is defined as y=0.5ln[(E+pz)/(Epz)], where E and pz are the energy and longitudinal momentum of the particles associated with the track.

  18. The number of pT intervals for data is dictated by statistics such that the fits to the invariant mass distributions are stable. In the acceptance calculation, the number of pT points is chosen such that a smooth acceptance curve as a function of pT can be obtained. The statistical uncertainties of acceptance values are less than a few percent.

  22. The total cross section corresponding to the minimum-bias trigger is estimated to be 45±8mb. The elastic (17±4mb [19]), single diffractive SD (12 mb), and half of the double diffractive DD (4 mb) cross sections are subtracted from the total pp¯ cross section (78±6mb [19, 23]) to give this estimate. The SD and DD cross sections are estimated using pythia [20], and no uncertainties are assigned to SD and DD cross section. A simulation study shows that the minimum-bias trigger is sensitive to 100% of inelastic events which are not SD or DD and 50% of DD events. A 100% uncertainty is assigned to the DD contribution attributing to the uncertainty in the event characteristics and detector simulation.
