Baryon pair production in two-photon collisions is studied with the L3 detector at LEP. The following reactions are identified: y-y ---) pj5, yy + Ax, yy -+ Co-' and y-y -+ AZ0 + CยฐK. The analyses are based on data collected at e+e-center-of-mass energies from 91 GeV to 208 GeV, corresponding to an

โฆ Synopsis
Exclusive production
of n and K meson pairs in two photon collisions is measured with ALEPH data collected between 1992 and 2000. Cross sections are presented as a function of cos 0* and invariant mass, for ( cos 8" [ < 0.6 and invariant masses between 2.0 and 6.0 GeV/c2 (2.25 and 4.0 GeV/c2) for pions (kaons).
The shape of the distributions are found to be well described by QCD predictions but the data have a significantly higher normalisation.
