    Experimental Signature of Medium Modifications for rho and omega Mesons in the 12 GeV p + A Reactions

    Full text link
    The invariant mass spectra of e+e- pairs produced in 12-GeV proton-induced nuclear reactions are measured at the KEK Proton-Synchrotron. On the low-mass side of the omega meson peak, a significant enhancement over the known hadronic sources has been observed. The mass spectra, including the excess, are well reproduced by a model that takes into account the density dependence of the vector meson mass modification, as theoretically predicted.Comment: 4 pages, 3 figures, Version accepted for Physical Review Lette

    Measurement of the Xi-p Scattering Cross Sections at Low Energy

    Full text link
    In this paper we report cross-section measurements for Ξ−p\Xi^-p elastic and inelastic scatterings at low energy using a scintillating fiber active target. Upper limit on the total cross-section for the elastic scattering was found to be 24 mb at 90% confidence level, and the total cross section for the Ξ−p→ΛΛ\Xi^-p\to\Lambda\Lambda reaction was found to be 4.3−2.7+6.34.3^{+6.3}_{-2.7} mb. We compare the results with currently competing theoretical estimates.Comment: 9 page

    GPIB ADDRESS CONVERTER

    Abstract A GPIB address converter (GAC) has been constructed. This paper reports on the function and test results. The GAC has two GPIB connectors (upper and lower ports). The upper port has a GPIB primary address, and is connected to a GPIB system controller. The lower port acts as a GPIB controller of the lower side GPIB line. The GPIB system controller can access the lower side GPIB devices through the GAC by using an extended two-byte address function. The two-byte address (primary + secondary) is shown in the combination of the GAC address and the address of the lower side device. The GAC converts the secondary address into the primary address of the lower side GPIB device. By using of 30 GACs, the GPIB system controller can access 930 devices assigned only primary addresses

    Search for the Θ+\Theta^{+} pentaquark via the π−p→K−X\pi^-p\to K^-X reaction at 1.92 GeV/cc

    The Θ+\Theta^+ pentaquark baryon was searched for via the π−p→K−X\pi^-p\to K^-X reaction in a missing-mass resolution of 1.4 MeV/c2c^2(FWHM) at J-PARC. π−\pi^- meson beams were incident on the liquid hydrogen target with the beam momentum of 1.92 GeV/cc. No peak structure corresponding to the Θ+\Theta^+ mass was observed. The upper limit of the production cross section averaged over the scattering angle of 2∘^{\circ} to 15∘^{\circ} in the laboratory frame was obtained to be 0.26 ÎŒ\mub/sr in the mass region of 1.51−-1.55 GeV/c2c^2.The upper limit of the Θ+\Theta^+ decay width using the effective Lagrangian approach was obtained to be 0.72 MeV/c2c^2 and 3.1 MeV/c2c^2 for JΘP=1/2+J^P_{\Theta}=1/2^+ and JΘP=1/2−J^P_{\Theta}=1/2^-, respectively.Comment: 5 pages, 3 figures, 1 tabl

    Nuclear mass number dependence of inclusive production of omega and phi mesons in 12 GeV p + A collisions

    Full text link
    The inclusive production of omega and phi mesons is studied in the backward region of the interaction of 12 GeV protons with polyethylene, carbon, and copper targets. The mesons are measured in e^+ e^- decay channels. The production cross sections of the mesons are presented as functions of rapidity y and transverse momentum p_T. The nuclear mass number dependences (A dependences) are found to be A^{0.710 +/- 0.021(stat) +/- 0.037(syst)} for omega mesons and A^{0.937 +/- 0.049(stat) +/- 0.018(syst)} for phi mesons in the region of 0.9 < y < 1.7 and p_T < 0.75 GeV/c.Comment: 12 pages, 8 figures; typos adde
