A measurement of the magnetic moment of the Σ+-hyperon

Измеренке момента Σ+-hyperon гиперона

  • Published:
Il Nuovo Cimento A (1965-1970)

Summary

The magnetic moment of the Σ+-hyperon has been measured to be (3.5±1.2) nuclear magnetons by observing the precession of the polarization vector in a pulsed magnetic field. The polarized hyperons were produced in a liquid-hydrogen target by a beam of 1.17 Ge V/c π+-meson and their decay was detected in pellicles of nuclear emulsion. The final direction of the polarization was determined from the angular distribution of the decay Σ+→pπ0.

Riassunto

Si riporta una misura del momento magnetico dell’iperone Σ+-hyperon effettuata osservando la precessione del vettore polarizzazione in un campo magnetico impulsato. Il valore trovato è (3.5±1.2) magnetoni nucleari. Gli iperoni polarizzati sono stati prodotti inviando un fascio di mesoni π+-meson di 1.17 GeV/c in idrogeno liquido ed il loro decadimento è stato rivelato in emulsione nucleare. La direzione finale del vettore polarizzazione è stata determinata per mezzo della distribuzione angolare del decadimento Σ+→pπ0.

Резюме

Было измерено, что магнитный момент Σ+-hyperon гиперона равен (3.5±1.2) ядерных магнетонов, путем наблюдения прецессии вектора поляризации в пульси-рующем магнитним поле. Поляризованные гипероны рождаются в жидкостно-водородной мишени, посредством пучка π+-meson мезонов с импульсом 1.17 ГэВ/с, и их распад определяется в пленках ядерной эмульсии. Окончательное направление поляризации определяется из углового распределения распада Σ+→pπ0.
