An event with all the products from a K- capture star visible was examined in an emulsion stack exposed in a strong pulsed magnetic field to the separated K- meson beam of the Bevatron. A drawing of the event is presented together with the energy and penetration data and the reasons for selecting the reaction. which is believed to be K- + C/sup 12/ -Be/sup 9//sub ?/ + pi - + He/ sup 3/, followed by the decay in flight Be/sub ?//sup 9/ - p + pi -+ Be/sup 8/ and Be/sup 8/ - 2 alpha . The binding energy of the ?/sub 0/ hyperon for this reaction is 6.22 plus or minus 0.44 Mev, which is in good agreement with the knowu binding energy of Be/sup 9/ decay. 6.6 plus or minus 0.31 Mev. Also. the momentum can be balanced in all directions if the decay occurs in flight. (D.L.C.)
