\(\bar K\) capture frequency in hydrogen

  • Published:
Il Nuovo Cimento (1955-1965)

Summary

From the study of\(\bar K\) capture stars in photographic emulsions, the\(\bar K\) capture frequency in the hydrogen atom is estimated and the result is compared with the Fermi-Teller theory of the capture of negative mesons in matter. A strong disagreement is found from the expected value. This discrepancy has been attributed to the transfer of the meson to an atom of the CNO group.

Riassunto

Dallo studio delle stelle di cattura dei\(\bar K\) nelle emulsioni fotografiche, si è valutata la frequenza di cattura dei\(\bar K\) nell’atomo di idrogeno ed il risultato si è confrontato con la teoria di Fermi-Teller per la cattura di mesoni negativi nella materia. Si trova un forte disaccordo col valore previsto. La discrepanza si è attribuita al trasferimento del mesone ad un atomo del gruppo CNO.
