Experimental study of the sigma-nucleon system through the reaction d(K,. pi. )SIGMA N. Progress report, January 1, 1981-December 31, 1981

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:6223093
During the first half of 1981, considerable time and effort was devoted to the analysis and interpretation of observed hypernuclear levels in ..lambda../sup 13/C, ..lambda../sup 14/N and ..lambda../sup 18/O by the Brookhaven collaboration which included people from the University of Houston, Carnegie-Mellon University and M.I.T. These data were obtained using the (K/sup -/,..pi../sup -/) reaction and incident Kaons of momentum 800 MeV/c. The experimental arrangement, including the Brookhaven hypernuclear spectrometer, has been described in an earlier publication. These measurements, the first ever made on these nuclei, were taken at scattering angles ranging from 0/sup 0/ to 25/sup 0/ corresponding to momentum transfers from 50 to 330 MeV/c. The levels are interpreted in terms of a ..lambda.. hyperon coupled to a strangeness zero nuclear core, the results providing insights into the properties of the ..lambda..-nucleon and ..lambda..-nucleus interactions.
