Influence of anisotropic Λ/Σ creation on the Ξ− multiplicity in subthreshold proton–nucleus collisions

Abstract: We present an analysis of Ξ − baryon production in subthreshold proton-nucleus (p + A) collisions in the framework of a BUU type transport model. We propose a new mechanism for Ξ production in the collision of a secondary Λ or Σ hyperon and a nucleon from the target nucleus. We find that the Ξ − multiplicity in p + A collisions is sensitive to the angular distribution of hyperon production in the primary N + N collision. Using reasonable assumptions on the unknown elementary cross sections we are able to repro… Show more

“…A similar enhancement observed in the p+ Nb system points to effects appearing already in cold nuclear matter [27]. Production on correlated nucleon pairs or excitation of higher mass resonances with a significant decay branch to KK have been considered as possible explanations [28,29]. This reaction is just one example illustrating the importance of the data on double-strange hyperon production in nucleon-nucleon interactions close to the production threshold.…”

“…Proton-proton reactions at 4.5 GeV can also be used to elucidate the Ξ − (1321) production mechanism. An unexpectedly large sub-threshold production of the Ξ − resonance has indeed been measured in ArKCl and pNb reactions ( [2] and references therein) and reference measurements in the nucleon-nucleon system are needed to test possible explanations related to the contribution of high mass resonances [33]. The Ξ − is identified via its decay into Λ and π − pair, with the subsequent decay of the Λ into a pπ − pair.…”

“…Associations of the single strangeness kaon meson with the EoS have been extensively studied in the literature [8,[12][13][14][15][16]. The single strangeness Λ hyperons have been measured by the E895 and FOPI Collaborations [17][18][19], while the double strangeness Ξ − production in heavy-ion collisions has been studied extensively in the last twenty years [20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28][29][30]. However, their connections to the dense nuclear EoS are less studied.…”
