Introduction (K-pp bound state)

Simplest kanoic nuclei, KNN (Total charge=+1, I=1/2) system
 B.E. and Γ strongly depend on the KN interaction.
 It is difficult to reproduce the experimental values.

RCA for B.G. suppression

There are a lot of B.G. of the quasi-free hyperon production.
 It is difficult to discuss the K−pp in the inclusive spectrum.
 Detect the proton(s) from the K−pp decay with Range Counter Array.



We suppress the quasi-free B.G. by tagging a proton or 2 protons.

RC Seg2, 5 are free from the QF backgrounds.
Excess due to ΣN cusp is clearly observed ~ 2.13GeV/c2.
Broad Enhancement is observed around 2.3GeV/c2.

A possible explanation of the observed structure is the K-pp.

Summary
•
•
The inclusive missing-mass spectra of the d(π+, K+) reaction
at 1.69 GeV/c has been observed for the first time.
The overall structure was understood with a simple quasifree picture. However, there are two peculiar deviations.
•
•
•
The centroid of the broad bump structure in Y* region was shifted
+2.9
to low mass side, by -32.4 ± 0.5 (stat.)-1.7 (syst.) MeV/c2.
We observed the ΣN cusp in the inclusive spectrum for the first
time in this reaction.
The double differential cross section of each final state was
estimated from 2p coincidence events.
•
We have observed a clear bump structure which corresponds to
“K-pp”-like structure in Σ0p final state events.
