We present high-statistics data on differential cross sections and density matrix elements for K/sup + -//sup()production obtained in a 13-GeV/c SLAC experiment. The most remarkable features of the data are the dominance of natural-parity exchange and significant differences between K/sup +/ and K/sup -/ production by natural-parity isoscalar exchange. We present two exchange models which successfully describe this difference, as well as the overall t dependence: model A including Pomeron plus strongly exchange-degenerate Regge poles and model B involving broken exchange degeneracy for the f and ..omega.. exchanges. These two phenomenological models lead to different predictions for the energy dependence of K/sup + -/production, for the relative K(1420)/K(890) production rate, and for the SU(3) -related rho/sup + -/production processes.
