Hyperons and Nuclei
- Giuseppina Anzivino (Universita e INFN, Perugia (IT))
A search for the very rare $\Sigma^+ \to p \mu^+ \mu^-$ performed within the LHCb experiment is presented. An evidence for this decay was seen by the HyperCP collaboration, with the invariant mass of the dimuon pairs surprisingly found peaking at 214 MeV/c2, leading to the hypothesis of an intermediate (unknown) particle mediating this decay (known as HyperCP anomaly).
Thanks to the copious...
Semileptonic Hyperon Decays (SHD) are interesting decays that allow to test LFV with operators not accesible to kaon decays. In this talk we will discuss the prospects of LHCb to improve the existing measurement of muonic SHD's
The interaction of antikaons with nucleons and nuclei in the low-energy regime represents an active research field in hadron physics and offers a unique tool to understand the low energy kaon-nucleus interaction at threshold. The lightest atomic systems, namely the kaonic hydrogen and the kaonic deuterium, provide the isospin dependent kaon-nucleon scattering lengths by measuring the X-rays...
The AMADEUS collaboration aims to study the K$^-$ hadronic interaction with light nuclei in the low-energy regime with high precision. The main goal is to provide information on the KbarN interaction in nuclear medium, fundamental for the understanding of the non-perturbative QCD in the strangeness sector, with implications going from nuclear physics to astrophysics. Hyperon-nucleon/nuclei...
