Abstract

A model for the KˉdπYN\bar K d \to \pi Y N reactions with Y=Λ,ΣY=\Lambda, \Sigma is developed, aiming at establishing the low-lying Λ\Lambda and Σ\Sigma hyperon resonances through analyzing the forthcoming data from the J-PARC E31 experiment. The off-shell amplitudes generated from the dynamical coupled-channels (DCC) model, which was developed in Kamano et al. [Phys. Rev. C 90, 065204 (2014)], are used as input to the calculations of the elementary KˉNKˉN\bar K N \to \bar K N and KˉNπY\bar K N \to \pi Y subprocesses in the KˉdπYN\bar K d \to \pi Y N reactions. It is shown that the cross sections for the J-PARC E31 experiment with a rather high incoming-Kˉ\bar{K} momentum, pKˉ=1|\vec p_{\bar K}|= 1 GeV, can be predicted reliably only when the input KˉNKˉN\bar K N \to \bar K N amplitudes are generated from a KˉN\bar KN model, such as the DCC model used in this investigation, which describes the data of the KˉN\bar K N reactions at energies far beyond the KˉN\bar K N threshold. We find that the data of the threefold differential cross section dσ/(dMπΣdΩpn)d\sigma/(dM_{\pi\Sigma}d\Omega_{p_n}) for the KdπΣnK^- d \to \pi \Sigma n reaction below the KˉN\bar K N threshold can be used to test the predictions of the resonance poles associated with Λ(1405)\Lambda(1405). We also find that the momentum dependence of the threefold differential cross sections for the KdπΛpK^- d \to \pi^- \Lambda p reaction can be used to examine the existence of a low-lying JP=1/2+J^P=1/2^+ Σ\Sigma resonance with a pole mass MR=1457i39M_R = 1457 -i39 MeV, which was found from analyzing the KpK^-p reaction data within the employed DCC model.
