E 864 : Experimental Results on Exotic Nuclei and Rare Probes
نویسنده
چکیده
Experiment 864 at the BNL-AGS was designed to search for exotic states of strange quark matter and other rare composite particles. The experiment was commissioned in 1994 and completed its final run in 1998. Here, we present an overview of the experimental results for the production of light nuclei up to A = 7, antiprotons and antideuterons, hypernuclei and production limits on new states of quark matter.

Nuclear level density (NLD) is one of the properties of nuclei with widespread applications in astrophysics and nuclear medicine. Since there has been little experimental and theoretical research on the study of nuclei which are far from stability line, studying NLD for these nuclei is of crucial importance. Also, as NLD is an important input for nuclear research codes, hence studying the metho...
متن کاملFlavor-changing interactions mediated by scalars at the weak scale.
The quark and lepton mass matrices possess approximate flavor symmetries. Several results follow if the interactions of new scalars possess these approximate symmetries. Present experimental bounds allow these exotic scalars to have a weak scale mass. The Glashow-Weinberg criterion is rendered unnecessary. Finally, rare leptonic B meson decays provide powerful probes of these scalars, especiall...
متن کاملGamow-teller Strength Distribution in the -decay of Exotic Nuclei
We describe experimental results on the Gamow-Teller strength distribution as obtained from the B-decay of exotic nuclei. The most complete results, in light nuclei, confirm the absence of strength noted in (p,n) measurements. In heavier nuclei it is the remote tail of the resonance that is established by 8-decay.
متن کاملProbing Exotic Higgs Sectors In`?`? Collisions
I review extended Higgs sectors and constraints thereon arising from ρ = 1, gauge-coupling unification and b → sγ. The couplings and decays of the Higgs boson eigen-states are outlined for triplet representations. Direct experimental probes of exotic Higgs bosons are reviewed with a focus on the important role that would be played by an e − e − or µ − µ − collider.
متن کاملDirect reaction probes of single-particle states and correlations
The most exotic neutron-proton asymmetric nuclei are produced most efficiently in high-energy fragmentation reactions. These exotic nuclei are produced as fast secondary beams with energies of order 100 MeV per nucleon or greater, and hence v/c > 0.3, often with relatively low intensities. For such beams one can exploit both the detection efficiency and the cross sections for fast oneand two-nu...
