K$\sp- p$ interactions at 8 GeV/c have been produced at Brookhaven National Laboratory's Multi-Particle Spectrometer to study the final state $K\sp+{\bar K\sp0}\pi\sp-$ in the mass range 1-2 GeV/c$\sp2$. A total of 1711 events have been produced in the reaction $K\sp- p\to(K\sp+{\bar K\sp0}\pi\sp-$) + Y where Y is a neutral baryon with strangeness $-$1. The Y's identified include the $\Lambda$(1115), $\Sigma$(1192), $\Sigma$(1385), and $\Lambda$(1530). / We see no clear signals for the resonances D(1285), E(1420), and $D\sp\prime$(1520). Upper limits for the production cross sections of these mesons are computed. Through comparison with data obtained in the reaction $\pi\sp- p\to$($K\sp+{\bar K\sp0}\pi\sp-$) + n we find that the production cross sections for the D(1285) and E(1420) are at least an order of magnitude smaller for the $K\sp{-}p$ interactions than for the $\pi\sp{-}p$ interactions, while that of the $D\sp\prime$(1530) may be of the same order of magnitude for both interactions, indicating the possibility of a significant $s{\bar s}$ component. / Also, a Partial Wave Analysis shows some evidence of an interference of 1$\sp{++}$ and 1$\sp{+-} J\sp{PG}$ states near 1.4 GeV/c$\sp2$. The 1$\sp{+-}$ wave appears to be the strongest in this mass region. / Source: Dissertation Abstracts International, Volume: 51-09, Section: B, page: 4405. / Major Professor: Vasken Hagopian. / Thesis (Ph.D.)--The Florida State University, 1990.
