Abstract
In the framework of the nuclear spectral function approach for incoherent primary proton-nucleon and secondary pion-nucleon production processes we study the inclusive Λ(1520)-hyperon production in the interaction of 2.83-GeV protons with nuclei. In particular, the A and momentum dependences of the absolute and relative Λ(1520)-hyperon yields are investigated within the different scenarios for their in-medium width. Our model calculations show that the pion-nucleon production channel contributes distinctly to the “low-momentum” Λ(1520) creation both in light and heavy nuclei in the chosen kinematics and, hence, has to be taken into consideration on close examination of the dependences of the Λ(1520)-hyperon yields on the target mass number with the aim to get information on their width in the medium. They also demonstrate that both the A dependence of the relative Λ(1520)-hyperon production cross section and momentum dependence of the absolute Λ(1520)-hyperon yield at incident energy of interest are appreciably sensitive to the Λ(1520) in-medium width, which means that these observables may be an important tool to determine the above width.
