Associated strangeness production has been studied in the p¯p→Λ¯Λ→p¯π+pπ− reaction at CERN antiproton facility LEAR using experimental setup of PS185. Results from two high-statistics measurements incident momenta 1.642 and 1.918 GeV/c are reported. Approximately 40 000 reconstructed events each momentum have allowed us to measure total differential cross sections, spin polarizations, correlations, singlet fractions ΛΛ¯ pair. Since decays both Λ Λ¯ were simultaneously observed same detector,...
Abstract Structural response of crystals to an applied external perturbation is important as a key for understanding microscopic origin physical properties.
