On the pion-hyperon resonances and on the possible uses thereof

Determination of the Σ-Λ relative parity and of theα Λ/α 0 ratio

  • Published:

Summary

The esistence of a resonance in the hyperon-pion system leads to a possibility of determining the Σ-Λ relative parity and the ratioα Λ/α 0 of asymmetry coefficientsα Λ (in Λ→p+π) andα 0 (in Σ+→p+π0). In this paper a proposal is made which allows the determination of these quantities by measuring only the up/down asymmetries of pions coming from Λ- and Σ-decays. Various aspects of this proposal are discussed. The possible existence of other resonances has also been emphasized. In particular it is shown that the existence of a resonance in the isotopic spin stateI=1 leads to some predictions concerning the existence of another resonance, probably in theI=2 state.

Riassunto

L’esistenza di una risonanza nel sistema iperone-pione porta alla possibilità di determinare la parità relativa Σ-Λ ed il rapportoα Λ/α 0 dei coefficienti di asimmetriaα Λ (in Λ→p+π) eα 0 (in Σ+→p+π0). In questo scritto si fa una proposta che permette di determinare queste quantità misurando soltanto le asimmetrie alto/basso dei pioni provenienti dai decadimenti Λ e Σ. Si discutono vari aspetti di questa proposta. Si è anche messa in evidenza la possibile esistenza di altre risonanze. In particolare si mostra che l’esistenza di una risonanza nello stato di spin isotopicoI=1 porta ad alcune predizioni relative all’esistenza di un altra risonanza, probabilmente nello statoI=2.
