Systematic Study of Double Strangeness System with an Emulsion-Counter Hybrid Method

A systematic study of strange matter, L-L interaction, and H-dibaryon using an emulsion-counter hybrid method at J-PARC PAC. The experiment aims to discover new nuclear species and produce a chart of S=-2 nuclei. Various processes and interactions within neutron stars are explored to understand the nature of the system. The study involves detecting specific candidate events to enhance the statistical significance compared to previous research.

Motivation of the proposed experiment * detection of102 or more candidate eventswith S = -2, → Discovery of 10or more nuclear species. Our goal is to produce a S=-2 nuclear chart, by observing nuclei with S=-2 as many as possible. More than 10 times statistics than previous E373.
