Energy dependence of transverse mass spectra of Lambda hyperons produced in p+p and p+pbar interactions. A compilation

Abstract

The results on transverse mass spectra of Lambda hyperons produced in all inelastic p+p and p+pbar interactions in the energy range sqrts = 3.6-1800 GeV are compiled and analyzed. The energy dependence of the mean transverse mass and the inverse slope parameter of the spectra is presented and discussed. These results should be used as a reference in the study of Lambda hyperon production in nuclear collisions.
