Neutral Associated Production by 8-, 10.7-, and15.7−GeVcπ−Incident on Protons

We present differential and total cross sections for two reactions: ${\pi }^{-}p\to K^0\Lambda$ and ${\pi }^{-}p\to K^0{\Sigma }^0$. The incident pion momenta were 8, 10.7, and 15.7 $\frac{\mathrm{GeV}}{c}$. The results are based on an analysis of approximately 22 600 events of the two reactions where the ${\pi }^{+}$ and ${\pi }^{-}$ from the decay of the $K_S^0$ were detected in the forward leg of the Double Vee Magnetic Spectrometer. The separation of $\Lambda$ recoils from ${\Sigma }^0$ recoils was accomplished by the missing-mass technique.
