PION-MOMENTUM SPECTRUM FROM K- ABSORPTION IN HELIUM

Technical Report ·
DOI:https://doi.org/10.2172/4215570· OSTI ID:4215570
The pion-momentum spectrum from K-absorption stars in helium is calculated in the impulse approximation. The kaon is assumed to be pseudoscalar and to be captured from the ls state. A final state consisting of free particles is used. The effect of final bound states is considered and taken into account phenomenologically. All final-state interactions are neglected. It is shown that the shape of the momentum spectrum is determined mainly by kinematics--i.e., the shapes and positions of the spectral peaks are quite insensitive to detailed dynamical assumptions such as the assumed K parity and capture orbit. The effect of final-state interactions is discussed. (auth)
