Kaonic and Σ- atoms: present status and future directions

Creators

  • 1. Boston Univ., MA

Description

The existing data on Kaonic and Σ-hyperonic atoms are reviewed with an emphasis on what experiments still need to be performed. Almost all of these experiments require high flux, high purity kaon beams which will be available at a new Kaon Factory. Topics covered include particle properties, viz. m/sub k/, m/sub Σ-/, μ(Σ-); strong interaction widths, shifts and yields; E2 resonance effects; the K- -p atom; and radiative kaon capture. 64 references
