$K^0 Λ$ and $D^- Λ_c^+$ production induced by pion beams off the nucleon

We present a comparative study of the pion induced production of $K^0 Λ$ and $D^- Λ_c^+$ off the nucleon. A hybrid framework is utilized by combining an effective Lagrangian method with a Regge approach. We consider the $t$-channel process in a plannar diagram by vector-meson Reggeon exchanges and the $u$-channel one in a non-planar diagram by baryon Reggeon exchanges. The present model reproduces the $K^0 Λ$ production data well with a few parameters. Having fixed them, we predict the $D^- Λ_c^+$ production, which turns out to be about $10^4-10^6$ times smaller than the strangeness one, depending on the kinematical regions.
