Precise measurement of differential cross sections of the {Sigma}-p --> {Λ} n reaction in momentum range 470-650 MeV/c
read the original abstract
The differential cross sections of the {\Sigma}-p --> {\Lambda} n reaction were measured accurately for the {\Sigma}- momentum (p_{{\Sigma}}) ranging from 470 to 650 MeV/c at the J-PARC Hadron Experimental Facility. Precise angular information about the {\Sigma}-p --> {\Lambda} n reaction was obtained for the first time by detecting approximately 100 reaction events at each angular step of {\Delta}cos{\theta} = 0.1. The obtained differential cross sections show slightly forward-peaking structure in the measured momentum regions.The cross sections integrated for -0.7 < cos{\theta} < 1.0 were obtained as 22.5 +- 0.68 (stat.) +- 0.65 (syst.) mb and 15.8 +-0.83(stat.) +- 0.52 (syst.) mb for 470<p_{{\Sigma}}(MeV/c)<550 and 550<p_{{\Sigma}}(MeV/c)<650, respectively. These results show a drastic improvement compared to past measurements of the hyperon-proton scattering experiments. They will play essential roles in updating the theoretical models of the baryon-baryon interactions.

Isospin-breaking effects on the threshold cusp structures in $\Lambda N$-$\Sigma N$ scattering
Isospin breaking splits threshold cusps in ΛN-ΣN scattering into constrained structures whose relative sharpness or type can change, as shown via K-matrix classification and N²LO chiral EFT calculations.
