Highlights of the Spectroscopy of Hyperons and Cascade Baryons

Nuclear Experiment 2020-05-15 v1 Nuclear Theory

Abstract

We highlight topical issues in hyperon spectroscopy that will be accessible when a secondary beam of neutral kaons is created in Hall D at Jefferson Lab as proposed to the JLab Program Advisory Committee. The new beam will have a flux of 10410^4 KLK_L/s. The reaction products will be analyzed in the GlueX experimental setup. We point out which physical questions need to be answered and suggest a number of novel experiments. In particular we suggest to measure the presently disputed SU(3) structure of the Λ(1405)\Lambda(1405), to search for Pentaquarks mit exotic quantum numbers and to search for baryons belonging to the SU(6) 20-plet representation.
