The reaction pp -> K^+ + (Lambda p) has been measured at T_p = 1.953 GeV and Theta = 0 deg with a high missing mass resolution in order to study the Lambda p final state interaction. Narrow S = -1 resonances predicted by bag model calculations are not visible in the missing mass spectrum. Small structures observed in a previous experiment are not confirmed. Upper limits for the production cross section of a narrow resonance are deduced for missing masses between 2058 and 2105 MeV/c^2.
We present calculations of the invariant mass spectra of the $Lambda$p system for the exclusive $p p to K^+ Lambda p$ reaction with the aim of studying the final state interaction between the $Lambda$-hyperon and the proton. The reaction is described
within a meson exchange framework and the final state $Lambda p$ interaction is incorporated through an off-shell t-matrix for the $Lambda p to Lambda p$ scattering, constructed using the available hyperon-nucleon (YN) potentials. The cross sections are found to be sensitive to the type of YN potential used especially at the $Lambda$ and $Sigma$ production thresholds. Hence, data on this exclusive reaction, which can be used to constrain the YN potentials are desirable.
The reaction pp -> K+ + (Lambda p) was measured at Tp=1.953 GeV and Theta = 0 deg with a high missing mass resolution in order to study the Lambda p final state interaction. The large final state enhancement near the Lambda p threshold can be describ
ed using the standard Jost-function approach. The singlet and triplet scattering lengths and effective ranges are deduced by fitting simultaneously the Lambda p invariant mass spectrum and the total cross section data of the free Lambda p scattering.
To search for an S= -1 di-baryonic state which decays to $Lambda p$, the $ {rm{}^3He}(K^-,Lambda p)n_{missing}$ reaction was studied at 1.0 GeV/$c$. Unobserved neutrons were kinematically identified from the missing mass $M_X$ of the $ {rm{}^3He}(K^-
,Lambda p)X$ reaction in order to have a large acceptance for the $Lambda pn$ final state. The observed $Lambda p n$ events, distributed widely over the kinematically allowed region of the Dalitz plot, establish that the major component comes from a three nucleon absorption process. A concentration of events at a specific neutron kinetic energy was observed in a region of low momentum transfer to the $Lambda p$. To account for the observed peak structure, the simplest S-wave pole was assumed to exist in the reaction channel, having Breit-Wigner form in energy and with a Gaussian form-factor. A minimum $chi^2$ method was applied to deduce its mass $M_X =$ 2355 $ ^{+ 6}_{ - 8}$ (stat.) $ pm 12$ (syst.) MeV/c$^2$, and decay-width $Gamma_X = $ 110 $ ^{+ 19}_{ - 17}$ (stat.) $ pm 27$ (syst.) MeV/c$^2$, respectively. The form factor parameter $Q_X sim$ 400 MeV/$c$ implies that the range of interaction is about 0.5
The reaction pbar p -> pbar p pi+ pi- has been studied with high statistics at CERN-LEAR with incident pbar momenta from 1.65 to 2.0 GeV/c by the JETSET (PS202) experiment. The aim of this paper is to search for narrow resonances decaying to pbar p.
No evidence for such structures is found. In particular, an upper limit for the production of a 2.02 GeV state with a width of Gamma = 20 MeV, having been seen in other hadroproduction experiments, is established. Our results restrict the cross section for such a peak to be below 200 nb at the 95% confidence level.
We investigate the photoproduction of Lambda(1405,1/2^-) = Lambda* off the proton target using the effective Lagrangian in the Born approximation. We observed that, depending on the choice of the K* N Lambda* coupling strength, the total cross sectio
n becomes 0.1 <~ sigma_Lambda* <~ 0.2 mu b near the threshold and starts to decrease beyond E_gamma ~ 1.6 GeV, and the angular dependence shows a mild enhancement in the forward direction. It turns out that the energy dependence of the total cross section is similar to that shown in the recent LEPS experiment. This suggests that the production mechanism of the Lambda* is dominated by the s-channel contribution.
