Σ0−Λ0Relative Parity fromΣ0Decay

Abstract
In order to establish how ε, the Σ0Λ0 relative parity, can be measured from actual bubble chamber experiments featuring polarized Σ0 production and decay, followed by Λ0 decay and γ-pair production or Dalitz pair in the Σ0 decay, we constructed a correlation function depending on ε, another unknown parameter to be measured in the same experiment, and the energy and momenta of the different particles involved. Our study is Lorentz covariant, but the link with the usual "nonrelativistic" formalism is exhibited. In an Appendix it is shown that the polarization of Σ0 produced in π+p+ reactions is expected to be large.
