Investigation into the Elastic Scattering ofΣ±Hyperons on Hydrogen

Abstract

An investigation has been made into the elastic scattering of $\Sigma$ hyperons on hydrogen. The experiment was based on a sample of 12 000 $\Sigma$ particles formed in a propane bubble chamber by the interactions of 1.15-Bev/c $K^{-}$ mesons. A total track length of 210 meters in the energy range 100 to 700 Mev has been examined.
