The (K-, η) reaction for hypernuclear studies

  • 1. Los Alamos National Lab., Los Alamos, NM (United States)

Description

We study the feasibility of using the (K-, η) reaction as a new tool for producing Λ-hypernuclei. We compare the characteristics of the (K-, η) reaction with those of the (K-, π) and (π+, K+) reactions and calculate the production cross sections for the 12C(K-, η)Λ12B reaction. Preliminary results of a test run at BNL to measure the (π-, η) and the (K-, η) reactions are presented. (author)
