Abstract
The production of neutral strange hadrons is investigated using deep-inelastic scattering events measured with the H1 detector at HERA. The measurements are made in the phase space defined by the negative four-momentum transfer squared of the photon 2< Q2<100 GeV2 and the inelasticity 0.1< y<0.6. The K and $\varLambda(\bar{\varLambda})$ production cross sections and their ratios are determined. K production is compared to the production of charged particles in the same region of phase space. The Λ– $\bar{\varLambda}$ asymmetry is also measured and found to be consistent with zero. Predictions of leading order Monte Carlo programs are compared to the data. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
