H. Outa et al., FORMATION AND DECAY OF SIGMA-HYPERNUCLEI IN (STOPPED K-, PI(+ -)) REACTIONS/, Progress of theoretical physics. Supplement, (117), 1994, pp. 177-199
Results are reviewed on the systematic study of Sigma hypernuclei with
(stopped K-, pi+/-) reactions performed by Tokyo group. Formation and
decay properties of Sigma hypernuclei obtained from C-12(K-, pi(+)) a
nd He-4(K-, pi(+/-)) reactions are summarized. The first observation o
f the Sigma hypernuclear bound state (He-4(Sigma)) and information of
isospin/spin dependence of Sigma-nucleus interaction from the He-4 dat
a are discussed in detail and they are compared with recent theoretica
l estimations.
