Dynamical Analysis of V-particles Decays Podolanski-Armenteros Plot and its application for V0 particle search Jaw-Luen Tang Department of Physics National Chung Cheng University Chiayi, Taiwan
Introduction • In 1953, Podolanski and Armenteros devised a method of analyzing the dynamics of two-body V decays to search for new unstable neutral particles in terms of measured quantities: p1, p2. (pp1+p2) • The method based on constructing new variables: 1/P , Podolanski-Arementeros parameter a , pT the transverse momentum ore=2pT/P, that related to the momentum components of each particles by conservation of momentum and energy which depend on the decay schemes. • It is used to classify the V0-particles and is a convenient way of displaying ( identifying ) the decay schemes. p1 p2
Armenteros analysis of V decay • Consider the decays of a neutral V0-particle of massmand velocity b into two charged particles with mass m1 and m2 , m m1 + m2 + Q. Laboratory system Center of Mass system
Armenteros Analysis • In the laboratory system, only p1,p2,and p can be measured, while the velocity of decaying particle b is unknown. • Useful quantities : pT, independent of b. • In the a-pT or a-eplanes, the points corresponding to a given decay scheme lie on an family of ellipses determined by the particle mass and the velocity b the secondaries.
