用WASA-at-COSY寻找准介子4 He

Search for eta-mesic 4He with WASA-at-COSY

Wojciech Krzemien

摘要:

在2008年6月,我们进行了搜索的4 He-eta结合态通过测量的激发函数的dd到3 He p π-反应的eta生产阈值附近使用WASA-at-COSY检测器。在实验运行过程中,氘束的动量在每个加速周期内从2.185 GeV/c到2.400 GeV/c连续变化,在2.336 GeV/c处越过dd到4 He eta反应中产生eta的运动学阈值。初步激励函数指示在接近180度的角度范围内没有结构,在该角度范围内期望信号。本文初步估算了由dd到(eta ~ 4 He)b.s.到3 He的p π反应在一个σ水平上等于大约20 nb。计划于2010年11月用WASA-at-COSY对dd 3 He p π通道进行为期两周的测量。在用4 * 10^(30)cm^(-2)s^(-1)的光度进行了两周的测量后,我们预计统计灵敏度为几个nb sigma。

英文摘要:

In June 2008 we performed a search for the 4He-eta bound state by measuring the excitation function of the dd to 3He p pi- reaction near the eta production threshold using the WASA-at-COSY detector. During the experimental run the momentum of the deuteron beam was varied continuously within each acceleration cycle from 2.185 GeV/c to 2.400 GeV/c, crossing the kinematic threshold for the eta production in the dd to 4He eta reaction at 2.336 GeV/c. The preliminary excitation function indicates no structure in the angular range close to the 180 degree where the signal is expected. The preliminary estimation of the upper limit for the eta-mesic production via the dd to (eta 4He)b.s. to 3He p pi- reaction is equal to about 20 nb on a one sigma level. A two-week measurement with WASA-at-COSY for the dd 3He p pi- channel is scheduled for November 2010. After two weeks of measurement with a luminosity of 4 * 10^(30) cm^(-2) s^(-1), we expect a statistical sensitivity of a few nb sigma.
