$\Lambda N$ correlations from the stopped $K^-$ reaction on ${}^4$He

Nuclear Experiment 2008-11-26 v1

Abstract

We have investigated correlations of coincident ΛN\Lambda N pairs from the stopped KK^- reaction on 4{}^4He, and clearly observed Λp\Lambda p and Λn\Lambda n branches of the two-nucleon absorption process in the ΛN\Lambda N invariant mass spectra. In addition, non-mesonic reaction channels, which indicate possible exotic signals for the formation of strange multibaryon states, have been identified.
