Abstract

The hypernuclear formation in collisions of relativistic beams of 4He, 7Li, 12C and 19F with a 12C target is calculated at energies used in the recent Dubna experiment. The hyperfragments optimal for observation are pointed out and the secondary (πK) formation is evaluated and found to be non-negligible.

    Yet the extremely scarce experimental data currently available do not restrain those models. One has to also notice that first theoretical work from [8,12–14] and updated calculations [22–24] differ by order of magnitude on the prediction of the hypernuclear production cross sections. Recently, the HypHI Collaboration has observed the production of light hypernuclei, 3ΛH and 4ΛH in a reaction with 6Li projectiles impinging on a graphite (natC) target [25].

    However, the life time of hypernuclei seen in the laboratory is considerably enhanced in relativistic collisions due to relativistic effects. Hypernuclear production in proton-induced reactions has been experimentally studied also at COSY [9] and the comparison with theoretical predictions based on transport equations of the Boltzmann type has been successfully performed [10]. More recently, concrete experimental proposals with high energy heavy-ion and proton beams at GSI (Darmstadt, Germany) and J-PARC (Japan), respectively, have been suggested by Saito [11,12].

    The theoretical production of light hypernuclei in reactions was originally proposed by Kerman and Weiss [2]. Since then this topic has been attracted again theoretical interest [3], motivated by the new FAIR facility at GSI, in which projects on hypernuclear physics are running or under planning [4,5]. In this work the initial non-equilibrium stage of a reaction is described by a covariant transport theory of Boltzmann type (Giessen-BUU), while the fragmentation mechanism of the final channel is modeled by a purely statistical approach (Statistical Multifragmentation Model, SMM [6]).
