Processes for Strangeness Production in ep Scattering

Dominant: hadronisation (non-perturbative process)

LUND string fragmentation modelstrangeness suppression factor

λs=P(s)/P(q)

more parameters for baryon production:

λsq=(P(sq)/P(qq))/(P(s)/P(q))

hard processes: QPM boson-gluon fusion decays of heavy quarks

ratio rises strongly with pT , ~constant as a function of x,Q2,η

MEPS favours a lower value of s= 0.22 over the full phase space

CDM at low Q2 better with s=0.3,

at high Q2 prefered lowers=0.22

Summary

• no indication of baryon number transfer is observed

• ratios of production cross-sections: Λ/K0

s better described by CDM with s = 0.3 K0

s/charged hadrons better described by MEPS with s = 0.22

• K0s and Λ production in laboratory frame:

reasonable good description by LO Monte Carlos (CDM, MEPS) CDM with s = 0.3 best , but

• K0s and Λ production in Breit frame:

well described by both the MEPS and CDM predictions with s = 0.3

• both models have difficulties at small x, low pT , η shape

No single combination of model and s describes all data in the measured region
