Abstract

A spectrometer for the detection of neutral pions in nuclear physics research was designed, constructed, and tested at the Los Alamos Meson Physics Facility. It is capable of detecting neutral pions with high efficiency, and with a fwhm energy resolution of 2 MeV with a typical acceptance of 1 msr. In the first experiment in which the spectrometer was used, its performance was evaluated, and nuclear physics research, based on the detection of neutral pions, was performed.

On the use of the (π−,K0) reaction on nuclear targets for the precise determination of the lifetime of the hydrogen hyperisotopes and other neutron-rich Λ-hypernuclei
2016, Nuclear Physics A
Recent results reported by experiments with relativistic (heavy) ions have raised again the question whether the lifetime of ${}_{Λ}^{3}H$ is very close to the lifetime of the free Λ hyperon. An updated careful analysis of all the existing experimental data shows that it is not, contrary to theoretical calculations. A similar conclusion can be drawn for the neighbor ${}_{Λ}^{4}H$ . A clear cut high precision measurement performed with the straightforward method of time delay spectra is however lacking and it is eagerly needed. The idea of using the $(π^{-}, K^{0})$ charge-exchange associated production reaction on targets of liquid ^3,4He is discussed. A possible realization exploiting a large part of existing facilities at J-PARC is presented. A measurement with a 5% precision seems within reach with a modest effort and in a reasonable amount of time. The same set-up would also serve very well for the measurement of the lifetime of several neutron-rich Λ-hypernuclei of the p-shell, in particular of ${}_{Λ}^{12}B$ . More importantly, the Weak Decay partial widths $Γ_{π^{-}}$ , $Γ_{p}$ and $Γ_{π^{0}}$ could be simultaneously determined in order to confirm their predicted strong variation with mass number, A, due to nuclear structure effects.
Hard photon and neutral pion production in cold nuclear matter
2001, Physics Letters, Section B: Nuclear, Elementary Particle and High-Energy Physics
The production of hard photons and neutral pions in 190 MeV proton induced reactions on C, Ca, Ni, and W targets has been for the first time concurrently studied. Angular distributions and energy spectra up to the kinematical limit are discussed and the production cross-sections are presented. From the target mass dependence of the cross-sections the propagation of pions through nuclear matter is analyzed and the production mechanisms of hard photons and primordial pions are derived. It is found that the production of subthreshold particles proceeds mainly through first chance nucleon–nucleon collisions. For the most energetic particles the mass scaling evidences the effect of multiple collisions.
Reconstruction of the π° kinematics from γγ decay
2000, Nuclear Instruments and Methods in Physics Research, Section A: Accelerators, Spectrometers, Detectors and Associated Equipment
In this paper we discuss the quality of the π° kinematics reconstructed from the measurement of both decay photons in electromagnetic segmented calorimeter. The standard method of photon energy scaling is compared to the kinematically constrained fit procedure. The χ² value from a fit to a given event was a subject of quantitative confidence level analysis. We demonstrate that the kinematical fit procedure has the following advantages compared to the energy-scaling method: (i) the width of the reconstructed pion energy distribution becomes narrower by 14%, and (ii) the efficiency of π° selection for the reconstruction purposes is much higher at the same confidence level. After applying the kinematical fit method to the experimental data, the reconstructed pion energy spectrum does not violate the kinematical limit imposed by the energy conservation, in contrast to the energy-scaling method.
π-N charge exchange and π+-π0 scattering at low energies
1998, Nuclear Physics A
π-N and π-π interactions near threshold are uniquely sensitive to the chiral symmetry breaking part of the strong interaction. The π-N σ-term value with its implications for nucleon quark structure and the recent controversy concerning the size of the scalar quark condensate have renewed the experimental interest in these two fundamental systems. We report new differential cross sections for the reaction π^-p→π⁰n at 27.5 MeV pion incident kinetic energy, measured between θ_CM = 0° and 55°. Our results are in excellentagreement with the existing comprehensive πN phase shift analysis. We also report on a Chew-Low analysis of exclusive π⁺p→π⁺π⁰p data at 260 MeV pion incident energy.
The treatment of data from a neutral meson spectrometer
1997, Nuclear Instruments and Methods in Physics Research, Section A: Accelerators, Spectrometers, Detectors and Associated Equipment
Simple analytic formulae are presented for reconstructing the momentum of a neutral meson from the measured energies and directions of its two decay photons. These formulae, obtained from a maximum likelihood treatment, can produce a more accurate result for the momentum than the method usually used to analyse such data. The results are used to investigate the dependence of the momentum resolution of a neutral meson spectrometer on the energy and angular resolution of its photon detecting elements.
