An experiment demonstrating the production of double-Lambda hypernuclei in (K(-),K(+)) reactions on (9)Be was carried out at the D6 line in the BNL alternating-gradient synchrotron. The technique was the observation of pions produced in sequential mesonic weak decay, each pion associated with one unit of strangeness change. The results indicate the production of a significant number of the double hypernucleus (4)(double Lambda)H and the twin hypernuclei (4)(Lambda)H and (3)(Lambda)H. The relevant decay chains are discussed and a simple model of the production mechanism is presented. An implication of this experiment is that the existence of an S = -2 dibaryon more than a few MeV below the double Lambda mass is unlikely.
在布鲁克海文国家实验室交变梯度同步加速器的D6线上进行了一项实验,该实验演示了在(9)Be上的(K(-),K(+))反应中双拉姆达超核的产生。该技术是观察在介子弱衰变序列中产生的π介子,每个π介子与一个奇异数变化单位相关联。结果表明产生了大量的双超核(4)(双拉姆达)H以及孪生超核(4)(拉姆达)H和(3)(拉姆达)H。讨论了相关的衰变链,并提出了一个简单的产生机制模型。该实验的一个结论是,在双拉姆达质量以下几个兆电子伏特处存在S = -2重子的可能性不大。
