Production of. lambda lambda. hypernuclei in the (K/sup -/,K/sup +/) reaction

Conference ·
OSTI ID:5285849
Very little data exists on doubly strange ..lambda lambda.. hypernuclei; only the ground states of /sub ..lambda lambda../He/sup 6/ and /sub ..lambda lambda../Be/sup 10/ have been seen in emulsion experiments. With existing K/sup -/ beam lines and magnetic spectrometer systems at CERN and Brookhaven, and the prospect of much higher K/sup -/ intensities at an eventual kaon factory, one is invited to consider the possibility that discrete states of ..lambda lambda.. hypernuclei may be observed directly in the (K/sup -/,K/sup +/) reaction on nuclear targets. Some DWBA estimates of the relevant cross sections are reported.
