T. Hermes et al., SEARCH FOR HEAVY HYPERNUCLEI PRODUCED IN THE U-238(P,K) (LAMBDA)A-JULICH(X REACTION AT COSY), Nuclear physics. A, 626(1-2), 1997, pp. 279-286
An experimental program has been started at COSY Julich for studies of
the production and of the decay of heavy hypernuclei using the (p,K)
reaction. A recoil-distance method is applied where the internal beam
of COSY provides high luminosity. First experimental results on the pr
oduction cross section and on the hypernucleus lifetime obtained with
a U-238 target are presented.
