Hypernuclear spectroscopy using (K - stop, 0 ) and (e,e’K + ) reactions Doc. dr. sc. Darko Androić University of Zagreb Physics Department
2
Definition and discovery Hyperon – baryon with at least one strange quark Hypernucleus – nucleus with at least one hyperon 1953. M. Danysz i J.Pniewski discovery in photographic emulsion (26km) Disintegration modes
3
Historical overview 1953-1970: visual experimental techniques (emulsions, bubble chambers). 1970 today spectrometry with particle beams from accelerators Binding energy known for cca 30 hypernuclei B = M core + M - M hyp

Summary: hypernuclei from emulsion Binding energy: B ~ A (cca 1MeV/A) Binding energy difference for mirror nuclei B << 0.5MeV n= n / p + n cca 1/3 Q - = nm / m ~ A N improving understanding of NN interaction N NN sensitive for difference between baryon-baryon interaction and quark level processes

Excited states of hypernuclei and spectroscopy Using strange particle beams (K ± ) Detector systems - fragment identification
7
Former experiments production on neutron reactions types (K -, - ) i ( +,K + ) “mirror nuclei” have to be investigated in reactions with simultaneous changing charge and strangeness production on proton reaction types (K -, 0 ) i ( -,K 0 )
