Abstract

Using negative kaons of 450 MeV/c momentum, Σ hypernuclear states have been produced in the (K, π+) reaction on 16O. The observed states are interpreted as the recoilless production of Σ particles in the p32 and p12 orbits of the Σ16C hypernucleus. Their energy splitting gives a constraint to the magnitude of the spin-orbit coupling for the Σ particles in the nucleus.

    Nowadays more than 40 single Λ-hypernuclei, and few double-Λ [5–11,15] and single-Ξ [16,17] ones have been identified. On the contrary, it has not been possible to prove without any ambiguity the existence of Σ-hypernuclei (see e.g., Refs. [18–26]) which suggest that the Σ-nucleon interaction is most probably repulsive [27–36]. A simple theoretical description of Λ-hypernuclei consist of an ordinary nuclei with the Λ sitting in the single-particle states of an effective Λ-nucleus mean field potential.
