Abstract

A calculation is made, using a direct interaction model, of the differential cross section for the scattering K⁻ +nucleus → π⁻+hypernucleus. Careful attention is paid to the normalisations in order to obtain a reliable estimate of the absolute magnitude for the process. This is of such a size (≈ 10 mb) as to merit experimental investigation.

The interaction of kaons with nucleons and nuclei
1982, Physics Reports
We review the status of experimental and theoretical investigations of kaon-nucleon and kaon-nucleus interactions and suggest areas likely to be of interest as the field of kaon-nuclear physics develops. The properties of K⁺N and K⁻N amplitudes are discussed in detail. For low energy, the K⁺N interaction is weak and slowly varying with energy. Therefore the K⁺ should be an important source of information regarding nuclear structure. The overlap and complementarity of the K⁺ as a nuclear probe are discussed in the context of other intermediate energy projectiles. In order to utilize K^± beams for nuclear studies, more precise low and medium energy K^±N data are also required, K⁻ nucleus reactions, primarily because of the coupling to strangeness — 1 baryons (⋀, Σ) and Y^∗ resonances, are expected to be more complicated than those of the K⁺. For the further study of hypernuclei and Y^∗ resonances in nuclei, intense variable energy K⁻ beams of good resolution are shown to be crucial. With such beams the study of hypernuclei could parallel the rich history of the study of nuclear structure. Besides providing a laboratory for studying hyperon-nucleon and hyperon-hyperon interactions the addition of an impurity (hyperon) into the many-baryon system can provide additional tests of the existing models of the nucleus. We examine the many facets of kaon-nuclear physics which have been explored with current techniques and existing facilities. However, we argue that the full realization of the potential of this field requires a “kaon factory”.
