Abstract

The associated strangeness production in elementary proton-induced reactions is studied exclusively at the external COSY beam using the time-of-flight spectrometer TOF. The complete measurement of all charged-particle tracks allows the extraction of total and differential cross-sections and Dalitz plots as well. Especially the analysis of the Dalitz plots of the reaction shows a strong influence of N ^*-resonances.
