  The differential cross sections for the neutrino-induced weak charged current
production of strange particles in the threshold energy region are presented.
The general representation of the weak hadronic current is newly developed in
terms of eighteen unknown invariant amplitudes to parametrize the hadron
vertex. The Born term approximation is used for the numerical calculations in
the framework of the Cabibbo theory and SU(3) symmetry. For unpolarized octet
baryons four processes are investigated, whereas in the case of polarized
baryons only one process is chosen to study the sensitivity of the differential
cross section to the various polarizations of the initial state nucleon and the
final state hyperon.
