The hyperon-nucleon interaction is investigated through the final-state interaction in the $K^-d\to\pi^-\Lambda p$ reaction. We focus on the $\Lambda N$-$\Sigma N$ coupled-channel interaction, which produces characteristic structures around…
The neutron-neutron ($nn$) correlation function has been measured in 25 MeV/u $^{124}$Sn+$^{124}$Sn reactions. Using the Lednick\'y-Lyuboshitz approach, the $nn$ scattering length and effective range ($f_{0}^{nn}$, $d_{0}^{nn}$), as well as…
