Pion-hyperon scattering influence of non-symmetric Λ and Σ interaction

  • Published:
Il Nuovo Cimento (1955-1965)

Summary

A field theoretical model is developed in order to study the low-energy pion scattering on Λ or Σ hyperons, taking into account the Λ-Σ mass difference and possible inequality of the coupling constants. From the results it is possible to study the corrections to the prediction of a theory in which Λ and Σ are considered degenerate with respect to pion interactions. These corrections are of the order of the hyperon mass difference over the pion energy and can shift the possible resonances in an appreciable way. It is also briefly discussed which states can present resonances for particular choices of the coupling constants. The relations of the previous results to the K-N absorption are discussed from a qualitative point of view.

Riassunto

Si sviluppa un modello per studiare la diffusione a bassa energia di pioni su iperoni Λ e Σ, tenendo conto della differenza di massa Λ − Σ e di eventuali differenze tra le costanti di accoppiamento. I risultati così ottenuti permettono di studiare quali sono le correzioni da introdurre in una teoria nella quale i due iperoni sono degeneri rispetto all’interazione con i pioni. Queste correzioni sono dell’ordine della differenza di massa diviso la energia del pione e possono spostare eventuali risonanze in modo apprezzabile. È anche possibile discutere quali stati presentano risonanze per particolari valori delle costanti di accoppiamento. Il legame di questo lavoro con il trattamento dell’assorbimento di K da parte di nucleoni è anche brevemente discusso da un punto di vista qualitativo.
