Double-Λ Hypernuclei via the Ξ− Hyperon Capture at Rest Reaction in a Hybrid Emulsion
نویسنده
چکیده
We have obtained nearly one thousand events of the Ξ− hyperon captured at rest in nuclear emulsion. Among them, production and decay of double-Λ hypernuclei was successfully found and analyzed for five events which correspond to five nuclear species with double strangeness. Preliminary results are discussed for the binding energy and interaction energy of two Λ hyperons. By comparison with older data, the excitation energy of the 10 ΛΛ Be nucleus is also discussed. A new experiment,which is expected to provide 10 times more double-strangeness events than before, is introduced .

Production of Hypernuclei in PANDA: Hyperon production target
The study of double Λ hypernuclei is one of the major physics programs within the program of PANDA [1, 2]. The experimental setup, as described in [3], comprises a primary nuclear target which will be hit by the antiproton beam. Double Hypernuclei are produced via the stopping and absorption of double strange baryons Ξ− in a nucleus [4]. Thus, it’s the task of the so-called primary target to pr...
متن کاملStrangeness production in antiproton-nucleus annihilation
Abstract. The results of the microscopic transport calculations of p̄-nucleus interactions within a GiBUU model are presented. The dominating mechanism of hyperon production is the strangeness exchange processes K̄N → Yπ and K̄N → ΞK. The calculated rapidity spectra of Ξ hyperons are significantly shifted to forward rapidities with respect to the spectra of S = −1 hyperons. We argue that this shif...
متن کاملFragmentation and strangeness at PANDA
Hypernuclear physics offers the unique possibility to study the behaviour of the hyperon-nucleon (Y N ) and the hyperon-hyperon (Y Y ) interaction inside excited hadronic matter [1] at terrestrial laboratories, such as the FAIR facility at GSI, Darmstadt. Such investigations are important for a better understanding of the strangeness sector of the equation of state, a topic of current research,...
متن کاملWeak decay of hypernuclei
The focus of these lectures is on the weak decay modes of hypernuclei, with special attention to Λ–hypernuclei. The subject involves many fields of modern theoretical and experimental physics, from nuclear structure to the fundamental constituents of matter and their interactions. The peculiar behaviour of matter containing strange quarks has raised in recent years many interesting problems, on...

The quark-meson coupling (QMC) model, which has been successfully used to describe the properties of both infinite nuclear matter and finite nuclei, is applied to a systematic study of Λ, Σ and Ξ hypernuclei. Assumptions made in the present study are, (i) the (self-consistent) exchanged scalar, and vector, mesons couple only to the u and d quarks, and (ii) an SU(6) valence quark model for the b...
