Ξ− and Ω distributions in hadron–nucleus interactions Original Research Article

Strange baryons have long been known to exhibit a leading particle effect. A recent comparison of Ξ− production in π−, n, and Σ− interactions with nuclei show this effect clearly. These data are supplemented by earlier measurements of Ξ− and Ω production by a Ξ− beam. We calculate the Ξ− and ΩxF distributions and nuclear dependence in hA interactions using the intrinsic model.
