PROTONIC $Sigma$-DECAY WITH AN ASSOCIATED ELECTRON PAIR

Journal Article · · Phys. Rev. Letters
In the ''protonic'' decay of the EPSILON /sup +/ hyperon, a proton with unique momentum is emitted. The neutral particle is assumed to be a pion. A decay of a EPSILON hyperon into a proton and an associated electron pair was observed in G5 emulsion stack. Various explanations of the event are listed. The explanation of the event as involving a Dalitz decay of the pi /sup 0/ followed by a bremsstrahlung energy loss of one of the electrons seems to be least improbable. (M.H.R.)
