Abstract

We consider Λ\Lambda and Λˉ\bar{\Lambda} production in a wide range of proton scattering experiments. The produced Λ\Lambda and Λˉ\bar{\Lambda} may or may not contain a diquark remnant of the beam proton. The ratio of these two production mechanisms is found to be a simple universal function r=[κ/(ypy)]ir = [ \kappa/(y_p - y) ]^i of the rapidity difference ypyy_p - y of the beam proton and the produced Λ\Lambda or Λˉ\bar{\Lambda}, valid over four orders of magnitude, from r0.01r \approx 0.01 to r100r \approx 100, with κ=2.86±0.03±0.07\kappa = 2.86 \pm 0.03 \pm 0.07, and i=4.39±0.06±0.15i = 4.39 \pm 0.06 \pm 0.15.
