Abstract

Results of a detailed study of strange particle production in neutrino neutral current interactions are presented using the data from the NOMAD experiment. Integral yields of neutral strange particles ( K s 0 , Λ, Λ ¯ ) have been measured. Decays of resonances and heavy hyperons with an identified K s 0 or Λ in the final state have been analyzed. Clear signals corresponding to K ⋆ ± and Σ ( 1385 ) ± have been observed. First results on the measurements of the Λ polarization in neutral current interactions have been obtained.
