The $\bar{K}N$ system at threshold is a sensitive testing ground for low energy QCD, especially the explicit chiral symmetry breaking. Therefore, we have measured $K$-series x rays of kaonic hydrogen atoms DA$\Phi$NE electron-positron collider Laboratori Nazionali di Frascati, and determined most precise values strong-interaction energy-level shift width $1s$ atomic state. As x-ray detectors, used large-area silicon drift detectors having excellent timing resolution, which were developed...

We have measured the proton energy distribution from 4He(stopped K−,p) reaction by means of time-of-flight. A mono-energetic peak was observed, which is interpreted as formation a new kind neutral tribaryon S0(3115) with isospin T=1 and strangeness S=−1. The mass width state were deduced to be 3117.0−4.4+1.5MeV/c2 <21MeV/c2, respectively. mainly decays into ΣNN.

Kaonic atoms are exotic atomic systems where an electron is replaced by a negatively charged kaon which also experiences the strong interaction with nucleus. Precision spectroscopy of kaonic represents excellent tool to study particles strangeness. This work reviews progress and prospects in modern era atom experiments, discusses constraints on low-energy theories strangeness sector.

We observed a distinct peak in the Λp invariant mass spectrum of He3(K−,Λp)n, well below mK+2mp, i.e., threshold K− to be bound two protons. By selecting relatively large momentum-transfer region q=350∼650 MeV/c, one can kinematically separate from quasi-free process, K‾N→K‾N followed by non-resonant absorption spectator-nucleons K‾NN→ΛN. found that simplest fit gives us Breit–Wigner pole position at BKpp=47±3(stat.)−6+3(sys.)

We have measured the Balmer-series x-rays of kaonic $^4$He atoms using novel large-area silicon drift x-ray detectors in order to study low-energy $\bar{K}$-nucleus strong interaction. The energy $3d \to 2p$ transition was determined be 6467 $\pm$ 3 (stat) 2 (syst) eV. resulting strong-interaction energy-level shift is agreement with theoretical calculations, thus eliminating a long-standing discrepancy between theory and experiment.

Emission of muonium (⁠|$\mu ^+e^-$|⁠) atoms from a laser-processed aerogel surface into vacuum was studied for the first time. Laser ablation used to create hole-like regions with diameter about 270 |$\mu $|m in triangular pattern hole separation range 300–500 $|m. The emission probability sample is at least eight times higher than uniform one.

We have simultaneously measured the energy spectra of neutrons and protons emitted in non-mesonic weak decays HeΛ5 CΛ12 hypernuclei produced via (π+,K+) reaction with much higher statistics than those previous experiments. The neutron-to-proton yield ratios for both at a high threshold (60 MeV) were approximately equal to two, which suggests that ratio neutron- proton-induced decay channels, Γn(Λn→nn)/Γp(Λp→np), is about 0.5. In neutron spectra, we found low-energy component unexpectedly...

We performed a coincidence measurement of two nucleons emitted from the nonmesonic weak decay $_{\ensuremath{\Lambda}}^{5}\mathrm{He}$ formed via $^{6}\mathrm{Li}({\ensuremath{\pi}}^{+},{K}^{+})$ reaction. The energies and pair number distributions in opening angle between them were measured. In both $np$ $nn$ pairs, we observed clean back-to-back correlation coming two-body reactions $\ensuremath{\Lambda}p\ensuremath{\rightarrow}np$ $\ensuremath{\Lambda}n\ensuremath{\rightarrow}nn$,...

We have measured the angular correlation of pair nucleons np and nn emitted from nonmesonic weak decay (NMWD) ^{12}_{Lambda}C produced via (pi^+,K^+) reaction in coincidence measurement. The Lambda p -> n modes were clearly identified by measuring back-to-back nucleon pairs which is characteristic two-body kinematics. From numbers N_{nn} N_{np}, ratio Gamma_n/Gamma_p partial widths Gamma_n(Lambda nn) Gamma_p(Lambda np) was extracted to be 0.51+-0.13(stat) +- 0.05(syst); this result almost...

We have observed an intense high-energy component in inclusive He4(stopped K−,d) spectrum. For back-to-back Λd pairs a prominent event cluster has been found just below the m4He+mK−−mn mass threshold invariant spectrum of Λdn events, which is evidence for three-nucleon absorption process K− He4. In addition, appreciable strength revealed ~3220 MeV/c2. Well separated Σ0dn events show peak similar to case Λdn.Received 5 September 2007DOI:https://doi.org/10.1103/PhysRevC.76.068202©2007 American...
