Abstract
A tagging method to suppress the π± background in Σ-hypernuclear spectroscopy is examined. The method, which is based on Monte Carlo simulations, investigates the capabilities of Σ to form a hyperon-nucleus bound system. The hypernuclear system can be found either in the ground state or in low-lying state, as well as in a resonance state. The tracking capabilities of the FINUDA spectrometer to detect Σ-hypernuclei are used. Σ-hypernuclei are produced by stopped K−,s.
