Abstract:
K1±(892) production is studied in the reaction π?N → KS0KS0 + X where X includes up to five observed charged particles. An excess of K1? over K1+ is observed for Feynman-x > 0.1. The ratio of K1+ to K1? decreases with x as predicted by QCD counting rules. KS0 and K1 production are compared to recent D and D1 data from other experiments.
