Coherent Production ofK*(890)byKat10 and 12.7 GeVconA20Nuclei

Abstract
Coherent K*(890) production by K of 10.0 (12.7)GeVc on A20 nuclei is observed with σA=150±50 (131±35) μ b/nucleus. The K* alignment, t distribution and cross section are consistent with production via isoscalar, natural-parity exchange.
