Possibility ofHdibaryon production with energetic hyperon and meson beams

We present cross section estimates and describe possible experiments for the production of the doubly strange six quark H dibaryon in the two-body reactions ${\mathrm{\Xi }}^{\mathrm{-}}$+p→${\mathrm{\pi }}^0$+H,${\mathrm{\rho }}^0$+H, ${\mathrm{\Sigma }}^{\mathrm{-}}$+p→${\mathit{K}}^0$+H,${\mathit{K}}^{0\mathrm{*}}$+H, and Λ+p→${\mathit{K}}^{+}$+H,${\mathit{K}}^{\mathrm{*}+}$+H, in the energy region from 1 to 20 GeV. We also consider the semi-inclusive process ${\mathrm{\Xi }}^{\mathrm{-}}$+p→H+p¯+X in the region of a few hundred GeV/c, and two step processes induced by pion and kaon beams in the 2–6 GeV/c range.
