Determination of the Σ Parity
Phys. Rev. Lett. 8 (1962) 175;

Motivation
In a previous Letter we reported a hydrogen-bubble-chamber experiment on the Kp interaction in the vicinity of 400 MeV/c incident K momentum. The existence of an excited hyperon of 1520 MeV mass and 16 MeV full width was established; the state was found to have isotopic spin 0, spin 3/2, even parity with respect to Kp, and a overline KN : Σ π : Λ 2 π branching ratio of 3:5:1. In this Letter we report the study of the angular distributions and polarizations of the different Σ π charge states, from which we conclude that the KpΣ parity is odd.
