Strangeness Nuclear Physics at J-PARC Kyungpook National University May. 26, 2009 Kiyoshi Tanida
Nuclear Physics • Study properties and reactions of nuclei ~3000 found, >5000 should exist neutron number proton number
Why interesting? I would give you just one example here... • Nuclear force • One pion exchange tail • Heavier mesonsNet attraction • Repulsive core (phenomenological) V(R) Ⅲ Ⅱ Ⅰ • Quite different from molecularVan-der-Waals force • State dependent • Non-central forces (LS, tensor) • Isospin dependence 1 fm 2 fm 1 fm 2 fm R 2π,σ,ρ,ω, ... quarks mesons
Nuclear force (cont.) • p is pseudscaler, i.e., Jp=0- • L changes when emitting/absorbingp → Mixing of L=0and L=2 (tensor force) • Bound state of NN exists only for Jp=1+, I=0(deuteron), where such mixing is allowed. p p n n L=0 (S) L=2 (D)
Nuclei with strangeness • Nuclei: many body systems of nucleons • which consist of up and down quarks→ p(uud), n(udd) • Actually, there are 6 quarks • Baryons with strangeness= HyperonsL=(uds), S+(uus), X0=(uss),... • Extended “space” of nuclei u c t d s b
Hyper-nuclear chart Unexplored “space” S=0 “surface”
Physics? • New interaction • Extended nuclear force to flavor SU(3) world • Unified understanding of Baryon-Baryon force – What is its origin? • Is traditional meson exchange model enough?Need quark/gluon picture? • Property of hyperons in nuclei? • Hyperons can mix easily (e.g., LN-SN, LL-XN)→ Dynamical systems can be made • What happens to nuclei? Impurity effect? • Collective motion? High density matter?

S=-2 system E03:Measurement of X rays from X- atom Spokesperson – K.

Nagae (Kyoto) E07: Systematic study of double strangeness system with an emulsion-counter hybrid method Spokespersons – K. Imai (Kyoto) K. Nakazawa (Gifu) H. Tamura (Tohoku) E03 E05 E07
Fe target K- K+ X- X ray E03 experiment • World first measurement of X rays from X-atom • Gives direct information on the XA optical potential • Produce X- by the Fe(K-,K+) reaction, make it stop in the target, and measure X rays. • Aiming at establishing the experimental method X- (dss) Fe X ray
Physics Motivation • Strangeness nuclear physics at S=-2 • A doorway to the multi-strangeness system • Very dynamic system? • Large baryon mixing? Inversely proportional tomass difference. • H dibaryon as a mixed state of LL-XN-SS? • Little is known so far Main motivation of the J-PARC
Importance of X systems • Valuable information on XN (effective) interaction • e.g., How strong XN LL (and thus XN-LL mixing) is? • Relevant to the existence of H dibaryon • XN component in LL-hypernuclei • Exchange interaction is prohibited in one-meson exchange models • How about A dependence? • Most OME models predict large A dependence. • Impact on neutron stars • Does X- play significant role in neutron stars because of its negative charge? • S- was supposed to be important, but its interaction with neutron matter is found to be strongly repulsive.
Principle of the experiment • Atomic state – precisely calculable if there is no hadronic interaction • 1st order perturbation • If we assume potential shape,we can accurately determine its depth with only one data • Shape information can be obtained with many data • Even if 1st order perturbation is not good, this is still the same. • Peripheral, but direct (X-nuclei spectroscopy)

Experimental setup • Long used at KEK-PS K2 beamline (E373, E522, ...) • Minor modification is necessary to accommodate high rate. • Large acceptance (~0.2 sr) K- K+ 1.8 GeV/c 1.4x106/spill (4s)
X-ray detector • Hyperball-J
Yield & sensitivity estimation • Total number of K-: 1.0x1012 for 800 hours. • Yield of X • production:3.7×106 • stopped: 7.5×105 • X-ray yield: 2500 for n=65 transition • 7200 for n=76 • Expected sensitivity • Energy shift: ~0.05 keV (systematic dominant) Good for expected shift (~1 keV, 4.4 keV by Koike ) < 5% accuracy for optical potential depth • Width: directly measurable down to ~ 1 keV • X-ray yield gives additional (indirect) information on absorption potential.
Expected X-ray spectrum n= 65 shift & width 0 keV
Expected X-ray spectrum(2) n= 65 shift & width 4 keV

S=+1; Q-hypernuclei? ? S=+1
Mysteries about pentaquark Q+ u • Does it really exist? • Need confirmation/rejection • Width? Why so narrow? • No doubt < 1MeV • Not observed in K+n elastic scattering/charge exchange • Spin-Parity? • 1/2+?, 3/2+?, 1/2-?, .... • What is the nature? d `s d u LEPS 1st publication
Confirmation of Q+ • High resolution width • First exp. @J-PARC: E19(Spokesperson: M. Naruki) • p(p-,K-)Q reaction • A good resolution:~2 MeV (FWHM)expected thanks toK1.8 beamline and SKS • Sensitivity: ~ 100 nb/sr • Stage 2 approved: Day-1 • Even better resolution ispossible (~0.1 MeV)
Q Hypernuclei? • Extend Baryon-Baryon interaction to include anti-decuplets • May give a hint about the nature of Q+ • For example, [D. Cabrera et al., nucl-th/0407007] calculated self-energy of Q-KN channel (i.e., K-exchange) weak, not enough to give bound states • If Q-KpN channel is taken into account, strong binding can be obtained (cf. N(1710) strongly couples to Npp) • There are many other scenarios... • Well, it’s interesting in itself, isn’t it?
Production methods? • (K+,p+) reaction: Proposed by Nagahiro et al.[PLB 620 (2005) 125] • Momentum transfer ~500 MeV/c • Elementary cross section: < 3.5 mb/sr (KEK-PS E559)[Miwa et al., arXiv:0712.3839]... Not good • (p-,K-): Momentum transfer ~1 GeV/c small cross section (< a few mb/sr: E522) We propose (K+,p) reaction [K. Tanida and M. Yosoi, J-PARC LOIhttp://j-parc.jp/NuclPart/pac_0801/pdf/LOI_Tanida_pentahyper.pdf]
The (K+,p) reaction • Elementary process d(K+,p)Q+ • Small momentum transfer • High resolution missing massspectroscopypossible n Θ K p
