Abstract

We report on measurements of the inclusive production rate of Σ+ and Σ 0 baryons in hadronic Z decays collected with the L3 detector at LEP. The Σ+ baryons are detected through the decay Σ+ →pπ0, while the Σ0 baryons are detected via the decay mode Σ0 →Λγ. The average numbers of Σ+ and Σ0 per hadronic Z decay are measured to be: (NΣ+)+ NΣ̅+)=0.114 ±0.011stat±0.009syst (NΣ°)+NΣ̅°)=0.095±0.015 stat±0.013syst.These rates are found to be higher than the predictions from Monte Carlo hadronization models and analytical parameterizations of strange baryon production.
