Hyperfragment production by 4.5 GeV/c π--Meson interactions in emulsion nuclei. A reappraisal

  • Published:
Il Nuovo Cimento (1955-1965)

Summary

The hyperfragment production by fast π-meson interactions is shown to be well explained by the model ofJones et al. (1). In particular, the short-range hyperfragments are shown to be predominantly very heavy and not light as had been supposed. The conclusions ofSilverstein (3),Fry et al. (4) andLokanathan et al. (5) are critically examined with recourse to this fact.

Riassunto

Si dimostra che la produzione di iperframmenti nelle interazioni di mesoni π veloci si spiega correttamente col modello diJones et al. (1). In particolare si dimostra che gli iperframmenti a breve percorso sono in maggioranza molto pesanti e non leggeri come si era supposto. Facendo riferimento a questo risultato si esaminano criticamente le conclusioni diSilverstein (3),Fry et al. (4) eLokanathan et al. (5).
