    Near threshold enhancement of the P anti-P mass spectrum in J/psi decay

    No full text
    We investigate the nature of the near-threshold enhancement in the pp̅ invariant-mass spectrum of the reaction J/Ψ→γpp̅ reported recently by the BES Collaboration. Using the Jülich NN̅ model we show that the mass dependence of the pp̅ spectrum close to the threshold can be reproduced by the S-wave pp̅ final state interaction in the isospin I=1 state within the Watson-Migdal approach. However, because of our poor knowledge of the NN̅ interaction near-threshold and of the J/Ψ→γpp̅ reaction mechanism and in view of the controversal situation in the decay J/Ψ→π0pp̅ , where no obvious signs of a pp̅ final state interaction are seen, explanations other than final state interactions cannot be ruled out at the present stage.A.

    The near-threshold enhancement in the pp̄ invariant mass spectrum of the reaction J/→γpp̄, observed in an experiment by the BES Collaboration, is analysed. It is shown, within the Watson-Migdal approach to final state interactions, that the mass dependence of the pp̄ spectrum close to the threshold can be reproduced by the S-wave pp̄ interaction of the Jülich NN̄ model in the isospin I=1 state. Difficulties in the consistent interpretation of the pp̄ invariant mass spectrum of the reaction J/→π0pp̄, where there are no obvious signs for a final state interaction, are discussed. © 2005 American Institute of Physics.J.

    Hyperons in nuclear matter from SU(3) chiral effective field theory

    No full text
    Brueckner theory is used to investigate the properties of hyperons in nuclear matter. The hyperon-nucleon interaction is taken from chiral effective field theory at next-to-leading order with SU(3) symmetric low-energy constants. Furthermore, the underlying nucleon-nucleon interaction is also derived within chiral effective field theory. We present the single-particle potentials of Λ and Σ hyperons in symmetric and asymmetric nuclear matter computed with the continuous choice for intermediate spectra. The results are in good agreement with the empirical information. In particular, our calculation gives a repulsive Σ -nuclear potential and a weak Λ -nuclear spin-orbit force

    Hyperon–nucleon interaction at next-to-leading order in chiral effective field theory

    Results for the Lambda N and Sigma N interactions obtained at next-to-leading order in chiral effective field theory are reported. At the order considered there are contributions from one- and two-pseudoscalar-meson exchange diagrams and from four-baryon contact terms without and with two derivatives. SU(3) flavor symmetry is imposed for constructing the hyperon-nucleon interaction while the explicit SU(3) symmetry breaking by the physical masses of the pseudoscalar mesons (pi, K, eta) is taken into account. An excellent description of the hyperon-nucleon system can be achieved at next-to-leading order. It is on the same level of quality as the one obtained by the most advanced phenomenological hyperon-nucleon interaction models

    Weak strangeness production in nucleon-nucleon scattering

    Until now the only way to study the strangeness changing baryon-baryon interaction has been through the decays of lambda hypernuclei. It would clearly be preferable to be able to study reactions such as pn→pΛ in free space. In order to provide some guidance concerning the feasibility of such a measurement, we investigate the energy dependence, parity violating asymmetry, and shape of the cross section for this reaction.J.

    Neutral pion photoproduction at high energies

    Get PDF
    A Regge model with absorptive corrections is employed in a global analysis of the world data on the reactions γ p → π0 p and γ n → π 0 n for photon energies from 3 to 18GeV. In this region resonance contributions are expected to be negligible so that the available experimental information on differential cross-sections and single and double polarization observables at - t 2 GeV2allows us to determine the reaction amplitude reliably. The model amplitude is then used to predict observables for photon energies below 3GeV. A detailed comparison with recent data from the CLAS and CB-ELSA Collaborations in that energy region is presented. Furthermore, the prospects for determining the π0 radiative decay width via the Primakoff effect from the reaction γ p → π 0 p are explored. © 2009 SIF, Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg.A.
