Final state interaction in5HeΛ decay

  • Published:
Il Nuovo Cimento (1955-1965)

Summary

The distribution of certain kinematic quantities defined in the decay5HeΛ → π + p +4He are interpreted as being due to the presence of a strong final state interaction. In particular the data are discussed with reference to two simple theories, one of which takes into account the specific p-4He nuclear interaction. The experimental evidence, although not conclusive, is consistent with the expectation that the p-4Hep 3/2 resonance plays an important role in determining the final state configurations.

Riassunto

Si interpretano le distribuzioni di alcune quantità cinematiche, definite nel decadimento5HeΛ → π + p +4He, come dovute ad una forte interazione negli stati finali. In particolare si discutono i risultati sperimentali in relazione a due semplici modelli teorici, uno dei quali si basa sulla specifica interazione nucleare p-4He. I dati sperimentali, sebbene in forma non conclusiva, favoriscono l’ipotesi che le configurazioni negli stati finali siano determinate in modo dominante dalla risonanzap 3/2 del sistema p-4He.
