Outline of Final Research Achievements |
To theoretically understand the production and decay of double-strangeness nuclei, we have improved the framework of the distorted wave impulse approximation for calculating production reaction spectra and developed numerical computation codes. The main research results are as follows: (1) The production spectra of Ξ hypernuclei via (K-, K+) reactions targeting atomic nuclei exhibit a unique energy dependence due to medium effects; (2) Analysis of the quasi-free spectra of Ξ hypernuclei produced via (K-, K+) reactions on a 9Be target revealed that the real part of the Ξ-nucleus potential is an attractive force of 17 +- 6 MeV; (3) Using precise meson distorted waves, we calculated the Σ hypernuclei production spectra via (pi-, K+) reactions and successfully reproduced the experimental data regarding the mass dependence and absolute values of the production cross sections.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements |
ストレンジネス核物理の進展によって,宇宙の物質を構成しているバリオン(陽子や中性子の仲間)や湯川粒子のパイ中間子などのメソンが担う核力全体の性質が解明され,中性子星やブラックホールなど宇宙の成り立ちへの理解につながると期待される。また陽子・中性子やハイペロン間にはたらくバリオン2体核力や,ΛNN・ΛΛNなどの3体核力の性質についての研究が進み,核物質中でのハイペロンなどのストレンジネスの役割とその重要性が明らかにされてきた。さらなる研究の推進が望まれる。
