Reaction K(-)P ->Pi(0)Pi(0)Lambda From P(K)(-)=514 To 750 Mev/C

Reaction K(-)p-->pi(0)pi(0)Lambda was measured at eight incident K- momenta between 514 and 750 MeV/c using the Crystal Ball multiphoton spectrometer. The reaction dynamics are displayed in total cross sections, Dalitz plots, invariant-mass spectra, production angular distributions, and the Lambda polarization. The pi(0)pi(0)Lambda production is dominated by the pi(0)Sigma(0)(1385) intermediate state; no trace of other light Sigma* states is observed, and the role of the f(0)(600) meson appears to be insignificant. A striking similarity is seen between K(-)p-->pi(0)pi(0)Lambda and pi(-)p-->pi(0)pi(0)n; this can be understood as a consequence of dynamical flavor symmetry.
