  3. Possibility of “Double-Kaonic Nuclear Cluster” Production by Stopped-pbar Annihilation Prelude to „Double-Strange Nuclei“ @ LEAP W. Weise, arXiv: 0507.058 (nucl-th) 2005 P. Kienle, J. Mod. Phys., A22 (2007) 365 P. Kienle, J. Mod. Phys., E16 (2007) 905 ↔

  4. T. Yamazaki, M. Maggiora, P. Kienle, K. Suzuki et al. • Properties: p+p -> K+ +X @ momentum transfer ~1.6 GeV/c • MX = 2.267 (3) GeV/c² -> BX = 103(3) MeV • ΓX = 118(8) MeV/c² • Assigned to deeply bound, dense K-pp cluster with Bx about twice the value predicted by AY • High observed production probability is predicted by the AY reaction model for the case of a high density cluster X • 25% of interaction strength is missing by AY • Consequences for Double Strange Cluster • Higher binding energy and higher density expected compared with single strange cluster • The annihilation process produces high energy and momentum density favoring formation of • K-K-pp cluster.

  5. Double-Kaonic Nuclear Cluster • Double-kaonic nuclear clusters have been predicted theoretically. • Double-kaonic clusters are expected to have a stronger binding • energy and a higher density than single ones. • From B(K-pp)= 103 MeV one extrapolates B(K-K-pp)~200 MeV PL,B587,167 (2004). & NP, A754, 391c (2005). • How to produce the double-kaonic nuclear cluster? • heavy ion collision • (K-,K+) reaction • pbarA annihilation We use pbarA annihilation

  6. Double-Strangeness Production with pbar The elementary pbar-p annihilation reaction: -98MeV is forbidden for stopped pbar, because of a negative Q-value of 98MeV However, if deeply bound multi kaonic nuclear clusters exist, production by pbar annihilation reactions will be possible! theoretical prediction B.E.=117MeV G=35MeV B.E.=221MeV G=37MeV

  7. Double-Strangeness Production Observations of the double-strangeness production in stopped pbar annihilation have been reported by 2 groups only, DIANA@ ITEP and OBELIX@ CERN/LEAR. Although the observed statistics is very low, their results have indicated a high yield of ~10-4

  9. Monte Carlo study using GEANT4 toolkit • The K-K-pp acceptance is calculated for B.E. =120, 150 and 200MeV • Decay widths of K-K-pp is to be 100MeV • Many-body decay modes of the pbar+3He reactions are considered to be isotropic and proportional to the phase space. • Particles are generated at the center of the detector system (0,0,0). • Decay-particle momenta are reconstructed by helix fitting, and K0Sp+p-, Lpp-, LL mass and decay vertex are obtained. • branching ratios of K0S/L are included correctly. • energy losses are NOT corrected. • In this study, acceptance is defined by track fitting. (i.e., CDH is NOT used in the E15 setup)

  30. Conclusion • The expected K-K-pp yield with 1GeV/c pbar-beam is several times larger than the yield with stopped-pbar. • LL invariant mass measurement seems to be difficult whether performed with stopped-pbar or 1GeV/c pbar-beam. • K+K0 missing mass measurement is suitable for the K-K-pp search both with stopped-pbar and 1GeV/c pbar-beam. • However, the following still remains to be discussed • production yield of the K-K-pp and the BGs • production mechanism of the K-K-pp in the pbar+3He reaction, especially in the in-flight reaction.
