9. Effective mass formation in dA reaction at the energy 1.5 GeV/nuc Preliminary The distributions of the  N pair yields are shown in Fig.(a,b) versus M eff of the pair nucleons. The histogram Fig.(b) shows the contamination obtained at the arm angle 170 o.The Fig.(a) corresponds to a back-to- back correlation coming from the two-body decay. The histogram Fig.(c) is the result of subtraction the back-to-back (180 o ) and the contamination measurements. The ratio of the nucleon pair numbers was N{170}/N{180}=0.42 + 0.08(stat) in the mass region of 1450 < M eff < 1550 MeV/c 2. New data are collected. They are include 10 5 pairs coming from target in d+Cu and d+C reactions at the energy of primary beam 1.5GeV/nuc and 1.9Gev/nuc. (a) (b) (c) Counts/10MeV/c 2 (a) (b) (c)

13. Зависимость энергетического разрешения (МэВ) МС для π-мезонов и нейтронов разных энергий от его относительного импульсного разрешения (%). Энергетическое разрешение TOF-системы в зависимости от длины базы (вакуум) для дискретного набора заданных (--- 0.1, --- 0.2, --- 0.3, --- 0.4, --- 0.5 нс) величин её времени разрешения и без учета дополнительных алгоритмов восстановления данных.

14. Распределение х-координат частиц в объеме дрейфовой камеры RDCh2 в зависимости от величины напряженности магнитного поля в условиях наличия воздуха на пути распространения (воздух+вещество детекторов). Начальное направление движения частиц совпадало с осевой линией межполюсного объема магнита Для протона (mc2 = 939 МэВ) с кинетической энергией 94 МэВ (β = 0.42, γ = 1.10) необходимая точность в δβ = 5.7*10-3 достигается при δX = 0.7 мм. Для протона с кинетической энергией 273 МэВ (β = 0.63, γ = 1.29) точности δβ = 2.3*10-3 отвечает δX = 0.15 мм. Указанные величины δX диктуют минимальные требования к постранственному разрешеню двух дрейфовых камер (не хуже δX/2), используемых для определения места входа и места выхода частиц, пролетающих магнитное поле. Для заряженного пиона (mc2 = 140 МэВ) с кинетической энергией 313 МэВ (β = 0.95, γ = 3.24) требуемая точность определения скорости δβ = 6.6*10-4 достигается при точности измерения поперечного отклонения δX=0.3мм

33. The properties of hadrons in nuclear medium are one of the interesting topics of the modern hadron and nuclear physics. All nuclei have essentially smaller mass than sum of masses all neutrons and the protons formed nuclei. The difference of masses is a result of strong interaction between hadrons which formed composite system. It is possible to assume, that particles, distinct from nucleons such as an  - meson, in nuclear medium will have smaller mass than in a free state. Motivation dryablov@lhe.jinr.ru The first experimental evidence of  -mesic nuclei was obtained in 1998 at LPI (Moscow, Russia) at the photon beam Last years active preparations for experiments on a search of  -mesic nuclei in European labs A possibility to perform studies on physics of  - mesic nuclei at the JINR nuclotron internal proton beam is proposed reaction p+A  n+p+  (A - 1) elementary process p+n*  n+S + 11 (1535)*  n+ p +  * Дубна 06.02.2012
