Abstract

A research has been made to look for a signature of the positive-strangeness baryon resonance Θ + ( 1530 ) , which is expected to decay into p K 0 . A peak is observed in the p π + π − invariant mass distribution in antiproton– 4 He annihilation reactions at rest with production of two π + π − pairs with invariant mass close to the K S 0 mass. The annihilation reactions on 4 He can involve two to four nucleons producing an energy blob characterized by high strangeness content. The peak is centred around 1560.0 ± 3.7 MeV and its width is very narrow. The statistical significance is 2.7; this value is considered of not sufficient significance to claim support of the Θ + . The data were collected with the Obelix spectrometer at the LEAR machine of CERN.

Abstract

The p annihilation at rest in a NTP 4He-gas target has been studied by means of the Obelix spectrometer installed at the LEAR accelerator of CERN. Reactions with production of 2π−2π+, 2π−3π+, 2π−2π+p, 2π−π+2p, 2π−3p (with pπ>80 MeV/c and pp>300 MeV/c) have been selected and single- and multinucleon annihilations identified. For the first time some known mesonic and baryonic resonances have been observed in p 4He annihilations and branching ratios are evaluated for a number of reaction channels.

Abstract

The annihilation frequencies of 19 p p annihilation reactions at rest obtained in different target densities are analysed in order to determine the values of the P -wave annihilation percentage at each target density and the average hadronic branching ratios from P - and S -states. Both the assumptions of linear dependence of the annihilation frequencies on the P -wave annihilation percentage of the protonium state and the approach with the enhancement factors of Batty are considered. Furthermore the cases of incompatible measurements are discussed.

Abstract

The Silicon Drift Detectors (SDDs) provide, through the measurement of the drift time of the charge deposited by the particle which crosses the detector, information on the impact point and on the energy deposition. The foreseen readout scheme is based on a single chip implementation of an integrated circuit that includes low-noise amplification, fast analog storage and analog to digital conversion, thus avoiding the problems related to the analog signal transmission. A multi-event buffer that reduces the transmission bandwidth and a data compression/zero suppression unit complete the architecture. In this paper the system components design is described, together with the results of the first prototypes.

Abstract

The results of a study of the annihilation reactions n p → θπ + and n p → ωπ + are reported; the data were collected by the OBELIX apparatus, with antineutrons annihilating in flight (momenta from ∼ 50 MeV/ c to 405 MeV/ c ). Annihilation frequencies and annihilation cross sections have been deduced, for both channels, as a function of antineutron momentum. From the cross section ratio, a substantial deviation from OZI rule expectations is observed. An s s quark content in the nucleon offers a fairly plausible explanation for such an effect.

Abstract

The measurement of different reactions of p d annihilation at rest in a gaseous target has been performed using the OBELIX spectrometer at LEAR (CERN). A strong deviation from the OZI-rule prediction was found from the measurement of the ratio R = φπ ωπ in two regions of proton momenta, P c and P > 400 MeV/ c : R( φπ − ωπ − ) = (133 ± 26) × 10 −3 and (113 ± 30) × 10 −3 , respectively. These values are about 30 times greater than the theoretical prediction. For the first time the excitation of the †-resonance was observed among the final-state products of p d annihilation. The existence of a broad enhancement in the 4π invariant mass at m ≈ 1480 MeV, seen in previous experiments, was confirmed. A ≈ 100 MeV downward shift of the bump position, when the proton momentum increased up to P > 400 MeV/ c , was also observed, while the positions of ω, ϱ and f 2 (1270) did not change with the proton momentum. The following branching ratios were measured: BR( p d → π − φ p ) = (6.62 ± 0.49) × 10 −4 , for P c ; BR( p d → π − φ p ) = (0.95 ± 0.22) × 10 −4 , for P > 400 MeV/ c ; BR( p d → π − ω p ) = (49.7 ± 8.9) × 10 −4 , for P c ; BR( p d → π − ω p ) = (8.38 ± 1.09) × 10 −4 , for P > 400 MeV/ c ; BR( p d → 2π − π + p ) = (150 ± 6) × 10 −4 , for P c ; BR( p d → 2π − π + p ) = (16.6 ± 0.9) × 10 −4 , for P > 400 MeV/ c ; BR( p d → 3π − 2π + p ) = (326 ± 12) × 10 −4 , for P c ; BR( p d → 3π − 2π + p ) = (44 ± 7) × 10 −4 , for P > 400 MeV/ c ; BR( p d → Λ K + π − ) = (0.96 ± 0.19) × 10 −4 , for P > 400 MeV/ c ; BR( p d → Λ K + π − π 0 ) = (3.5 ± 0.8) × 10 −4 , for P > 400 MeV/ c ; BR( p p → 2π − 2π + ) = (540 ± 20) × 10 −4 ; BR( p p → 3π − 3π + ) = (251 ± 21) × 10 −4 .
