π− p → K− Θ+ reac0on J-­‐PARC K1.8 B.S. and SKS

Result of E19-­‐1st and 2nd run was presented. No peak structure was observed in MM spectrum. Upper limit for Θ+ produc0on cross sec0on was obtained to be 0.28 µb/sr @ 1.50 – 1.56 GeV/c2

Upper limit on Θ+ decay width was also discussed. Comparing with theore0cal calcula0on, at most decay width should be less than 0.36 and 1.9 MeV for JP = ½+ and ½-­‐, respec0vely. This is extremely small as width of hadron resonance.

Results : Missing-mass spectrum• Select scattering angle from

2 deg to 14 deg <- No acceptance ambiguity

• In the missing mass region around 4ΛH+2n , no peak structure was observed.

• If the production crosection is ~10nb/sr, the events should be measured more than 60 events.

Data does not favor FINUDA’s data.

Discussion• 6Li(π-,K+) reaction populates 1+ state of 6ΛH ← 6Li(1+) at

forward angle • It needs spin-flip to generate 0+ state

• In the case of Scenario-1,2, width of 1+ state is narrow (Gal and Millener).

• → We can not find any narrow peak structures.

• In the case of scenario-3, wave function is broad. • If states existed, it would not be detected (Hiyama).

Summary of E10Successfully Performed the measurement of 6Li(π-,K+) reaction at pπ- = 1.2 GeV/c.

In the missing-mass spectrum of 6Li(π-,K+) reaction, no significant peak was observed.

An upper limit of production cross section was estimated to be 1.2 nb/sr.

It indicates that 0+ and 1+ states are unbound if cross section is about 10 nb/sr.

Need reconsideration of 6ΛH structure

Fig. 3. Partial-wave decomposition of the calculated inclusive spectrum by the one-step mechanism near the 14C + Λ + Λ threshold in the 16O(K −, K +) reactionat 1.8 GeV/c (0). VΞ = −14 MeV and v0

Ξ N,ΛΛ = 500 MeV were used. The la-bels 0+(s2

Λ), 1−(sΛ pΛ) and 2+(p2Λ) denote the Jπ ΛΛ nuclear states of (0sΛ)2,

(0sΛ)(0pΛ) and (0pΛ)2 coupled with 14C(0+), respectively. The labels 2+(s2Λ),

1−(2+ ⊗ sΛ pΛ) and 2+(2+ ⊗ p2Λ) denote the states of (0sΛ)2, (0sΛ)(0pΛ) and

(0pΛ)2 coupled with 14C(2+), respectively.

such ΛΛ excited states below the 14C + Λ + Λ threshold will bemeasured experimentally at the J-PARC facilities [3].

On the other hand, it is extremely difficult to populate the0+ ground state with 14C(0+) ⊗ s2

Λ at ω ≃ 352.3 MeV (BΛΛ ≃24.9 MeV) and also the 2+ excited state with 14C(2+) ⊗ s2

Λ atω ≃ 359.6 MeV (BΛΛ ≃ 17.5 MeV) in the one-step mechanismvia Ξ− doorways in the (K −, K +) reactions. The high momen-tum transfer of qΞ ≃ 400 MeV/c necessarily leads to the non-observability with %L = 0. Thus the integrated cross section ofthe 0+ state is found to be about 0.02 nb/sr, of which the q de-pendence is approximately governed by a factor of exp(− 1

where a size parameter b = 1.84 fm. There is no production in the2+ state with 14C(2+) ⊗ s2

Λ under the angular-momentum conser-vation in the 16O(K −, K +) reactions by the one-step mechanism.The contribution of these states to the ΛΛ spectrum in the one-step mechanism is completely different from that in the two-stepmechanism as obtained in Refs. [7,8].

In the (K −, K +) reaction, ΛΛ hypernuclear states can be alsopopulated by the two-step mechanism, K −p → π0Λ followed byπ0 p → K +Λ [7–9], as shown in Fig. 1(a). Following the procedureby Dover [7,9], a crude estimate can be obtained for the contribu-tion of this two-step processes in the eikonal approximation usinga harmonic oscillator model. The cross section at 0 for quasielasticΛΛ production at pK − = 1.8 GeV/c in the two-step mechanism,which is summed over all final state, is given [9] as

which is half smaller than ∼ 0.14 µb/sr at 1.1 GeV/c. Consider-ing a high momentum transfer q ≃ 400 MeV/c in the (K −, K +)reactions by comparison with the (π+, K +) reaction [39], we ex-pect that the production probability for the ΛΛ bound states doesnot exceed 1% in the quasielastic ΛΛ production, so that an es-timate of the ΛΛ hypernucleus in the two-step mechanism maybe on the order of 0.1–1 nb/sr. This cross section is smaller thanthe cross section for the ΛΛ 1− states we mentioned above in theone-step mechanism. Consequently, we believe that the one-stepmechanism acts in a dominant process in the (K −, K +) reactionat 1.8 GeV/c (0) when v0

Ξ N,ΛΛ = 400–600 MeV. This implies thatthe (K −, K +) spectrum provides valuable information concerningΞ N–ΛΛ dynamics in the S = −2 systems such as ΛΛ and Ξ hy-pernuclei, which are often discussed in a full coupling scheme [40].

4. Summary and conclusion

We have examined theoretically production of doubly strangehypernuclei in the DCX 16O(K −, K +) reaction at 1.8 GeV/c withinDWIA calculations using coupled-channel Green’s functions. Wehave shown that the Ξ− admixture in the ΛΛ hypernuclei playsan essential role in producing the ΛΛ states in the (K −, K +) reac-tion.

In conclusion, the calculated spectrum for the 16Ξ− C and 16

ΛΛChypernuclei in the one-step mechanism K − p → K +Ξ− via Ξ−

doorways predicts promising peaks of the ΛΛ bound and excitedstates in the 16O(K −, K +) reactions at 1.8 GeV/c (0). It has beenshown that the integrated cross sections for the significant 1− ex-cited states in 16

ΛΛC are on the order of 7–12 nb/sr dependingon the Ξ N–ΛΛ coupling strength and also the attraction in theΞ–nucleus potential. The Ξ− admixture probabilities are on theorder of 5–9%. The sensitivity to the potential parameters indicatesthat the nuclear (K −, K +) reactions have a high ability for thetheoretical analysis of precise wave functions in the ΛΛ and Ξhypernuclei. New information on ΛΛ–Ξ dynamics in nuclei fromthe (K −, K +) data at J-PARC facilities [3] will bring the S = −2world development in nuclear physics.
