Kaonic nuclei excited by the ( K − , N ) reaction

چکیده

We show that kaonic nuclei can be produced by the (K−, p) and (K−, n) reactions. The reactions are shown to have cross sections experimentally measurable. The observation of the kaonic nuclei gives a kaon-nucleus potential which answers the question on the existence of kaon condensation in dense nuclear matter especially neutron stars.

Formation of Kaonic Atoms and Kaonic Nuclei in In-Flight (K, p) Reactions

We theoretically study kaonic atom and kaonic nucleus formation in in-flight (K−, p) reactions for C, O, Si and Ca targets. Deeply bound kaonic atoms were previously predicted to exist as quasi-stable states, and it is expected that they can be observed using certain well-suited experimental methods. Kaonic nuclear states have also been predicted to exist with large decay widths. We evaluate th...

Precision measurements of kaonic atoms at DAΦNE and future perspectives

The precision measurements of kaonic atoms at the DAΦNE accelerator at the LNF-INFN Laboratories are going to be performed in the framework of the SIDDHARTA international Collaboration [1]. The objective of the SIDDHARTA {Silicon Drift Detector for Hadronic Atom Research by timing Application) experiment is to continue, to deepen and enlarge the successful scientific line, initiated by the DEAR...

محاسبه و بررسی سیستماتیکی پارامتر چگالی ترازهای هسته‌ای

The knowledge of nuclear reaction rates is important for studying energy production and nucleosynthesis, especially in reactions including nuclei far from stability line, which are not accessible experimentally so far and thus it is necessary to be able to predict reaction cross sections in low excitation energies. Nuclear level density is one of the important key quantities in many nuclear phy...

We compute the energy level displacement of the excited np states of kaonic hydrogen within the quantum field theoretic and relativistic covariant model of strong low–energy K̄N interactions suggested in EPJA 21, 11 (2004). For the width of the energy level of the excited 2p state of kaonic hydrogen, caused by strong low–energy interactions, we find Γ2p = 2meV = 3 × 1012 sec−1. This result is im...
