Abstract

We present first results on K⁰, K⁺, π⁺ and π^- production associated with Φ mesons in K⁺p interactions at 32 GeV/c. The data on total cross sections and Feynman-x distributions are well described by the LUND model for low-ρ{variant}_T hadron collisions and support the model prescriptions for the flow of initial valence flavours. Comparing data on "prompt", non-diffractive K^+,0 with "prompt" K₈₉₀^*+,0 production, we speculate about possible evidence for an important role of initial valence quark spins in the hadron fragmentation process.
